Pizza!!!!

Here is a fast and easy pizza recepie. Prep time is about 20-30mins excluding the time you need for the dough to rise.

You need:

3 cups of flour, unbleached works best
1.25 cups WARM water
1 tblspn active dry yeast
1 teaspn olive oil
Bit of salt

Completely dissolve yeast in the warm water. Use warm water, never cold, it activates the yest better and that way your dough won't taste like yeast. After the yeast is completely dissolved, mix all ingredients together in a bowl. At first it's VERY sticky but as you keep mixing in the flour it should start to stick together and not to your hands. After the dough is formed, "grease up" a bowl with olive oil and put the dough in it. Drizzle a tiny bit of oil on the top of the dough itself just so it doesn't dry out, cover it with a cloth and let it sit for about 2hrs to let it rise. Best place for this is out of direct sunlight, about room temperature. (on top of the fridge works best for my house). After the 2 hrs, the dough should be about twice as big, maybe even a bit bigger. On a lightly floured surface, cut the dough into three equal pieces. Using a rolling pin and\or your hands, shape the dough into pizza pies. You want the thickness to be about 1\4 to a 1\5 of an inch. If you make it too thick it may not cook throughly or the bottom of it will be very hard and dry when it comes out of the oven. Here is where you can get creative. Top the pizza with whatever you feel like. The "juicier" the topping the better (think fresh tomatoes, pineapples, bacon), and fresh ingredients always beat preserved\canned ones. Preheat the oven to 500F. Place the pie on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and slide it in the oven. Bake for about 20mins or until the crust gets golden brown. Enjoy!!

PS: NEVER try to eat the pie right after it comes out of the oven, let it cool for about 5mins. The tomato sauce gets VERY hot, first time I made this I burned my mouth so bad the roof of my mouth was sore for weeks!
