Easy pizza dough

This is my mom's pizza dough recipe. We use it all the time for our Friday night pizzas. Feel free to play around with the white/whole wheat flour ratios. You will probably have to adjust the liquid ratio too. I find that sometimes this recipe is a bit dry- maybe it's our high altitude and dry weather- who knows. You can add some water and olive oil if it seems dry.

Ingredients:

3 c. flour
2-3 Tbs olive oil
1 c. warm water
2 Tbs yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
spices, to taste.

1. Mix warm water, yeast and sugar and set aside until frothy- it should only take a few minutes.

2. In a separate and large bowl mix the flour, sugar, salt, spices. Sprinkle in the olive oil.

We added some crushed, dried rosemary to our dough!

3. Add the water/yeast/sugar mixture to the dry and mix firstly with a spoon and then get messy and mix with your hand. You should knead it for a minute or two in the bowl to make sure everything is mixed together.

4. Set the dough aside covered with a towel and let it rest and rise a bit- maybe 15 to 20 minutes.
(My hands were kind of messy at this point so I didn't get any pictures of the dough resting- sorry!)

5. Stretch out the dough onto an olive-oiled cookie sheet. Or use a pizza stone- we haven't tried it with one of those yet but we have one and need to do so! Bake at 425ºF-450ºF for about 12-15 minutes.
