Pizza!

I've tried several no-yeast pizza "doughs" and they just didn't pass muster.  I've recently been experimenting with yeast doughs and this one has had rave reviews from two teen boys as well as P!

This makes 1 14-inch thick crust pizza or 2 12-inch thin crust
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 envelope RapidRise Yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup very warm water
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
Cornmeal


Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, and salt. Stir very warm water and olive oil into flour mixture. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Cover; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.  Note:  I mix this in my KitchenAid mixer w/ dough hook = very little kneading by hand.
2. Lightly oil 1 (14-inch) or 2 (12-inch) round pizza pan(s). Sprinkle with cornmeal. Shape dough into smooth ball. Divide and roll dough to fit desired pan(s). Top pizza as desired.
3. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes or until done. Baking time depends on size and thickness of crust and selected toppings.

Ideas to try...Garlic & Herb Pizza Dough:  add 2 tsp of dried basil, oregano or rosemary and 1 clove finely minced garlic along with dry ingredients.  Whole Wheat Pizza Dough:  replace 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 cup whole wheat flour.
