Crusty Pizza Dough

Crusty Pizza Dough

1 package active dry yeast (2 1/2 Teaspoons)
1 cup warm water (105F-115F)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 1/3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornmeal

Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed mixer bowl.  Add salt, olive oil, and 2 1/2 cups flour.  Attach bowl and dough hook to mixer.  Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 1 minute.  

Continuing on Speed 2, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and mix until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl, about 2 minutes.  Knead on Speed 2 about 2 minutes longer.

Place dough in greased b owl, turning to grease top.  Cover.  Let rise in warm place, free from draft, about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.  Punch dough down.  

Brush 14-inch pizza pan with oil.  Sprinkle with cornmeal.  Press dough across bottom of pan, forming a collar around edge tohold toppings.  Add toppings as desired.  Bake at 450F for 15 to 20 minutes.


Yield 4 servings (1/4 pizza per serving).
