Joes' Pizza Crust

By: Joe Davis

2 c. hot water
2 t. yeast
5 c. flour (approximately)
dash black pepper
dash Italian seasoning
dash garlic salt
parmesan cheese (to taste, approximately 1 t.)

Directions:
Combine the hot water with the yeast, and set it aside. Add the flour 1 cup at time, alternating with adding 1 seasoning at a time. (Approximately 5 cups of flour will be added). Knead the dough in a mixer machine until it's stretchy. Oil round pizza pans generously. Separate the dough into 2 balls and knead them. Take each dough ball and stretch into a circle. Press the dough onto the pans until the dough meets the edges of the pan and let the dough rise. Once dough has risen to double the size, top it with your choice of pizza sauce, cheese(s) and meat(s).
Bake at 450° for about 15 minutes. Keep a close eye on it and take it out when cheese is bubbly and the crust is lightly browned.

Servings:
Makes 1 large and 1 small pizza, or 1 large pizza and bread sticks.
