Pizza Crust

4 cups flour (bread flour, if you have it)
2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
1/2 Tablespoon salt
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 3/4 cup warm water

Combine flour, yeast and salt in Bosch.  Add Olive oil.  Pour in water, mixing to combine, until ball forms.  Knead in Bosch 6 minutes.  If sticky, add a little extra flour as needed.  Spray the bowl with Pam, cover and let rise about an hour (until double.)  divide into two or three pieces.  Shape into balls and rise on floured or greased counter top, covered with plastic wrap, for 20-30 minutes. 

Preheat baking stone in 500 degree oven for one half hour before baking.

Shape each ball, one at a time, into desired pizza shape and size on cornmeal sprinkled parchment paper.  Brush each dough round with olive oil.  Sprinkle with garlic seasoning (we like Johnny's Garlic Spread at Costco).  Then top with favorite toppings. 

Here are some of ours:

-Pizza (or Pasta) Sauce with Italian cheeses, peppers, mushrooms, and ham
-A thin layer of cream (maybe 2-4 Tablespoons) brushed over the crust.  Top with Italian cheeses.  This makes a great cheese bread, and if you go heavy on the cream, turns kind of alfredo-esque.  Yum!
-We also like BBQ sauce with grilled chicken, green onions, peppers, and bacon.

Bake your pizza at 500 degrees for 8-15 minutes.  More toppings means it will take longer.  I like my cheese browned and bubbly.

Serve with a green salad.
