Pizza Crust

1 Tbsp. quick rise yeast
1 cup warm water
2 - 2 ½ cups flour*
1 tsp. salt
1/8 cup oil

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Mix in half of flour, plus salt and oil. Begin to mix in remainder of flour. As dough becomes thick enough, turn out of bowl to knead. Knead well. Let rise until double (20 -60 minutes). Punch down dough; onto pizza pan or stone.

Bake at 425° for a few minutes (just until dough is set). Add toppings and bake until crust is browned and cheese is bubbly.

* 1 cup of all-purpose flour can be substituted for 1¼ cup whole wheat flour.
