Ooooo, tasty easy pizza dough!

The internet is an amazing, if sometimes bizarre, twisty, enormous, and convoluted place. It has made it possible for us cooks to have one gigantic collective recipe box. And in said box tonight I discovered a very easy recipe for fresh pizza dough. It takes less time to make than to defrost that rock of dough in your freezer. And it seems a very flexible recipe that enables the creation of pizza both thick and poofy or thin and crispy, depending on how long you let it rise in the pan.

Here's the recipe, courtesy of this link:
3 C Flour (I used a mix of all-purpose and whole wheat)
1 package (.25oz) Yeast - active dry
2 T Vegetable Oil (I used olive oil)
1 t salt
1 T sugar
1 C warm water (110°F or 45°C)

Preheat your oven as hot as it will go.

Mix the dry ingredients and then pour in the wet and mix and knead. Knead as much as you like, though at least enough to make the dough smooth. Use a normal baking sheet, oil and flour the baking sheet, and then lay out the dough. Instead of rolling out the dough, just gently turn and stretch it between your hands before laying it in the pan. Then finish stretching it out in the pan.) Top with whatever you like. The interesting thing is that if you cover it and let it sit in a warm place it will rise, so just keep an eye on it lest it take over your kitchen!

And then bake it until it's done (about 15-20 minutes...)

I look forward to lots of experimentation with this recipe.
