PIZZA CRUST
A friend of mine passed along a great bread machine pizza crust recipe but sometimes waiting for the machine doesn't work out for my schedule. I have successfully made this dough in my kitchen aid which makes it my go-to pizza recipe. You can make the dough a day before and put it in the fridge or a week or two before and stick it in the freezer. For frozen dough, defrost in the fridge and then leave it out (in a covered bowl) until it is room temperature. For dough that's been in the fridge, take it out about an hour before you need to make the pizza so it can get to room temperature.
Ingredients
1 cup of luke warm water
1/4 cup of oil (I use olive oil)
3 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast
Kitchen Aid Directions
Put sugar and water in bowl. Add yeast. Leave this mixture alone for 10 minutes to activate the yeast. Add oil, flour, salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix on low until combined. Knead on setting 2, for 3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size.
If you are using a bread machine, follow your specific machine instructions for making a dough.
Making Your Pizza
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
Roll dough onto pan. My family likes a thinner crust, so we can get two pizzas from this dough recipe.
Top with your favorite toppings and bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is browned nicely.
Let the pizza set for 5 minutes and it will be easier to cut.
