Pizza Dough

Pizza Dough

1/2 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons fast rising yeast

1 Tablespoon butter, softened
1 1/3 cups bread flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon dry milk
1 1/2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, if desired
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix together the warm water & yeast, cover & let rest for 5-10 minutes. Mix rest of the ingredients together with a fork, add the water/yeast. Stir until it comes together. Turn onto a floured surface & knead for 5 minutes or so. Cover, let rise for 15 minutes or so; roll into desired shape. Makes 1 thin crust.

I put a little sauce & some pepperoni on it then bake it in a hot oven (415 degrees) for 5-8 minutes, until it begins to brown on the bottom. Remove from oven, add more sauce, if desired as well as whatever cheese(s) you desire. Return to the oven to melt cheese & finish cooking.
