No Rise Pizza Dough

Credit: Anna via My Wooden Spoon

Ingredients:
  • 1 T yeast
  • 1 1/2 c warm water
  • 2 T sugar
  • 3 T oil
  • 3-4 c flour
 Directions:
Proof the yeast in the warm water and sugar (combine all in a bowl and let the yeast do it's job). Once that is ready, stir in the oil. Then mix in the flour until it forms a ball. Remove from bowl and knead until smooth. Press dough into shape on the pizza stone (you can even use the rolling pin, but make it easy by placing the dough on the stone and rolling it directly on the stone so you don't need to transfer it). Add sauce and toppings. Place in cool oven, then turn dial to cook at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
*If you are skeptical of placing it in a cool oven (like I was), just go ahead and turn on the oven when you roll or press your dough and check your pizza 4-5 minutes earlier to make sure you don't overcook it. :)
