Basic Pizza Dough

This is a basic pizza dough. It has a nice crispy crust and a soft inside. If you place cornmeal under the dough it helps to prevent it from sticking to the baking dish.

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons yeast
1 cup warm water
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 handful cornmeal (optional)

Directions:
1. Mix the yeast and warm water in a bowl and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Add everything else and mix until it forms a dough.
3. Cover and let sit until it doubles in size, about 30 minutes.
4. On a well floured surface form the dough into a flat circle.
5. Transfer the dough to a baking pan with cornmeal spread over it.
6. Top with toppings and bake in a preheated 350F oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
