Homemade Pizza

Just to let Skubz know just how much I appreciate everything he does for our small-but-growing family, I made him one of his favorite things for supper tonight.

Homemade Pizza!
Now I am pretty sure we don't need to put up a recipe for pizza, it's pretty standard. But I will share with you the easiest, and fluffiest pizza crust recipe that I have ever made.

My mom has always made the best pizza. When I was growing up, she would let us have a special meal of our choice on our birthday. We very rarely chose anything that WASN'T her homemade pizza.

The crust recipe comes from an old old cookbook that used to be my grandmothers. I only have a written version, so I am not sure what that book was called.

Since I didn't acquire the recipe until a few months ago, I tried my finding a pizza crust recipe that was equally as amazing with little luck. They were either too thin, too thick, too time-consuming, tasted like cardboard or any other variation of things!
So here it is, the "not too thick, not too thin, easy and tasty" pizza dough recipe.

Pizza Dough
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees F)
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 Tbs vegetable oil (olive oil works also)
2 1/2 cups of all purpose OR whole wheat flour

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Stir in the remaining ingredients, and beat vigorously for 20 strokes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes before spreading out on pizza pan.
