What you will need to get started:

• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 cups bread flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup of  cheese (whatever kind you like, I have used multiple different ones including gouda)
• 1 jar of tomato sauce (an easy cheat is spaghetti sauce)
• Whatever toppings you want (the picture shows half cheese, half pepperoni basil! Yum!)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.  Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups bread flour, olive oil, salt, white sugar and the yeast mixture; stir well to combine.  Beat well until stiff dough has formed.  Cover and rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.  meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface ( I use olive oil instead, but it’s your preference).  Form dough into a circle and roll out into a pizza crust shape (I usually add garlic powder and/or Mrs. Dash Italian seasoning).  Cover with your favorite sauce and toppings and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Hope you all enjoy this as much as I did, and make a lot less mess! Although, making the mess was most of the fun!  Enjoy!
