Pizza

This is my mother's foolproof pizza crust recipe, and it really has never been fooled.

Crust:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 pkg. dry active yeast
1 cup warm water
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
Crushed up herbs (basil, oregano, thyme...) (optional)

Empty the yeast into a large mixing bowl and pour the water over it. Stir until yeast is completely dissolved. Add in remaining ingredients and mix until dough forms a ball. Cover bowl with a clean cloth and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
Punch in dough and knead slightly. Stretch over greased baking pan(s). (This recipe makes two thin-crust or one thick-crust pizza).
Optional: roll pieces of string cheese into the edge of the crust for stuffed-crust pizza!
Spread tomato sauce and add cheese and your favorite toppings. This blogger is partial to sausage and green pepper. Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 mins or until cheese starts to brown. Enjoy!
