Carolyn's Pizza Crust Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

• 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

• 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup whole wheat flour

• 2 1/2 cup white flour

Directions :

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour.
Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out. Use for your favorite pizza recipe.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Bake pizza in preheated oven, until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. For the last 5 minutes broil on low.
