Pizza Crust

One of my firsts posts was for a pizza sauce recipe and I realized I didn't have the dough recipe with it.

We regularly make pizzas...well Noah does. I can't seem to get it right and he has mastered the pizza making. He does the whole thing, kneads it and tosses it in the air and rolls a perfect round crust, I just can't seem to do it! Everyone who has tried his pizza has said its the best pizza they've had and he needs to start a restaurant. So maybe someday we'll have a restaurant, and we already have the Italian name, Ruggieri Pizza!

PIZZA DOUGH, makes 2 pizzas
Ingredients
STEP 1
3/4 cup hot water
3 pkg. yeast

STEP 2
6 cup flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp salt
3 Tbsp oil

STEP 3
1 1/2 cup milk

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease pizza pan.
2. Mix together ingredients from STEP 1 and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl with a dough hook (or by hand), mix together ingredients from STEP 2.
4. Add STEP 1 ingredients to STEP 2 ingredients and mix together.
5. Slowly stir in milk, and add more if needed.
6. Mix everything with a dough hook for 5 minutes.
7. Put in a warm place and let it rise for 15 minutes. With our oven preheated, we put the bowl on the stove with a wet towel on top.
8. Knead dough again for 5 minutes, by hand, and then roll it out to desired shape.
9. Put on the pan with cheese and toppings.
10. Bake in oven on pizza pan for 9 minutes.
11. Take pizza off the pan and cook for 11 more minutes. Note: this recipe is for OUR specific oven and pan. You really need to play with it and figure out the best time/temperature for YOUR oven to get the best results.

For even tastier pizza: We also make stuffed crust pizza by putting string cheese in the crust. And we add a Garlic-salt butter sauce to the crust after the pizza is finished.
