Ingredients

1 1/2 T vegetable oil

1/2 T sugar

1 package active dry yeast

2 1/4 C flour

for thin crust:

1/2 C warm water

1 T vegetable oil

1 tsp sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 package active dry yeast

1 1/2 C flour

Preparation

Combine first four ingredients in a bowl; sprinkle yeast over mixture, stirring until dissolved. Gradually add flour, mixing well after each addition.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. (I have been using my stand mixer with the dough hook) Shape into a ball and place in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, one hour or until doubled.

Punch dough down. Lightly grease hands and pat dough evenly into a lightly greased pizza pan. Cover and let rise until doubled in size. Add your favorite toppings.

Bake at 450 for 10 minutes until crust is golden.
