Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Place in greased bowl and let rise until double, between 30 min to an hour.
Punch down the dough and let rise again until double.
Punch down the dough and divide.
Pat out on two pizza pans but any pan or baking sheet will do. ( I devided mine into 4 small individual pizzas and one large pizza)
Top with pizza sauce cheese and whatever toppings you desire.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.
Tip: if you rub your hands together with a few drops of oil it stops the dough from sticking to your fingers.
cooks notes: the recipe is an amalgamation of different recipes that were basically the same recipe. This was the first time I ever tried to make pizza dough and I'm quite pleased with the result, M and H said it turned out nice and they are my harshest critics. The sauce was left over red pepper and tomato soup I made yesterday, if anyone is interested I can write up the recipe.
