Blizzard Pizza!

Well, not really. So far, only about 4 inches. We were supposed to get 8 - 10 inches. But at least I got to leave work early and had time to make this favorite recipe.

1 Tbsp dry yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Cup luke-warm water
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 Cups flour
grated mozzarella cheese
pizza sauce
pizza toppings

Add yeast and sugar to water and let dissolve for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in food processor (if you have one), add olive oil, salt and flour and mix. When the yeast mixture is bubbly, add all at once to the flour mixture. Dough should pull away from the edges as it mixes. If it does not add more water 1/4 Cup at a time until dough forms a ball.

Place in an olive oil-greased bowl and let rise until double.

Punch down and form into pizza. Top with a thin layer of mozzarella and then the sauce.

Add toppings (mushrooms, pepperoni, olives, onions, etc.). Finish with a layer of mozzarella cheese. Bake in a 425 oven for 30 minutes until bubbly.
