The Best Pizza Ever

I'm going to tell you a secret--I'm not a huge fan of pizza. Number one because I can't have cheese on my pizza which makes it sorta taste not quite like pizza and number two because it always seems a little greasy to me. Not so any more! 

Again the Pioneer Woman came to my rescue with the absolute best pizza I've ever had.....mostly because of the very homemade, very easy pizza dough recipe. And of course, the toppings are all up to you! 

The Best Pizza Dough Ever Originally from the Kitchen of the Pioneer Woman Serves 8 
Ingredients Makes 2 crusts!

• 1 tsp Active Dry Yeast
• 4 c Flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/3 c Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Toppings of your choice!!! 

Directions

1. Sprinkle yeast over 1 and 1/2 cups warm (not lukewarm) water. 

2. Combine flour and salt with a mixer. Or not--I didn't use a mixer, opting instead for good old-fashioned elbow grease (not mine, my husband's). Drizzle in olive oil only until combined with flour. 

3. Next, pour in yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined. 

4. Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil and form a dough ball. Toss to coat dough with olive oil and then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Store in the fridge at least 24 hours in advance. Three to four days is best. 

5. When you're ready to make the pizza, preheat oven to 500 degrees. 

6. Drizzle olive oil on a large baking sheet and use your fingers to coat thoroughly. Remove HALF the dough from the bowl. Stretch the dough into a large rectangle with your fingers, dough will be very thin. 

7. Either lightly drizzle a little olive oil onto the dough and spread or you can replace the olive oil with tomato sauce before adding your other toppings. 

8. Top with your favorite toppings! 

9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove from the pan and slice.

10. Serve immediately and enjoy!!!!!
