Quick and Easy Pizza Crust- It’s Easy PIZZA-PEASY

This is a great recipe when you don’t want to wait for the dough to rise for hours. You just mix it and allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then it’s ready to go!! It yields a soft, chewy crust. For a real treat you use bread flour and bake it on a pizza stone, but all-purpose flour works well too. Enjoy!

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or baker’s peel dusted with cornmeal if desired.
