Best Pizza Ever

Behold the perfect homemade pizza.

Despite the fact that we still have some problems with our toppings or flavoring concoctions, we have the art of dough making down pat now.  This recipe works well for us because most pizza doughs require longer rising then we ever plan ahead for.  This quick rise will be ready in thirty minutes which is usually how long it takes us to prep the other toppings that we intend to use.

Quick Rise Pizza Dough
Ingredients
2 cups All Purpose Flour
1/4 ounce fast acting yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
 *optional* we have began to switch out 1 cup of the flour for whole wheat flour, and also started adding oregano, and garlic salt to the dough.  Just some flavoring changes to adapt for a healthier pizza meal.

Directions
In mixer bowl, combine 3/4 cup of the flour, yeast, and sugar. 
With motor running add 2/3 cup of hot water (130 degrees).
Once combined, add the oil, the remaining 1 1/4 cups of flower, and salt.  Mix until ball forms, then switch out for the kneading attachment, and run for at least 2 minutes.
Place dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
Let rise, in warm location for approximately 30 minutes. 

While the dough is rising we prep the oven fitted with our pizza stone to a nice hot 550 degrees.  We begin to work on our toppings, cooking the meat, slicing the cheese and sauteing the veggies. Once ready, the oven is dropped to 400 degrees, the pizza is moved from our prepping peel onto the pizza stone with the help of corn meal and then 10 - 15 minutes later we have a delicious pizza ready to enjoy.
