(Note: Scotty & Ron shared this recipe with us - along with the most delicious pizzas and calzones we have ever had anywhere. tlm)
4 cups high gluten flour or all purpose flour
¼ cup olive oil
1 tbsp. Sugar
1 ½ tsp salt
2 tablespoons active dry yeast( 2 packages)
Mix all above together in a medium size bowl.
Gradually add 1 ½ cups hot tap water until the mixture forms a ball workable by hand. Knead in the bowl dusting your hand with flour if necessary. Knead 4 to 5 minutes. Let stand on the counter to rise until double. ( at this point the dough can be punched down and left to rise again until ready to use) recipe will make 2 pizzas
Grease the pizza stone or pan well with olive oil. Press out the dough to fit the pan and to your desired thickness. Top with the toppings you like and bake immediately( no rising necessary at this point) in a 375 degree preheated oven . Bake on the bottom shelf until pizza is crisp on the bottom and lightly browned on the crust edges( about 25 minutes)

The greatest thing about this dough is that it never leaves the bowl! At least, not until you give it to the two-year-old. Seriously, this dough is easier to make and work with, not to mention harder to mess up, than any other recipe I have tried. Oh, and did I mention delicious?
AND, it really does make a great dough for playing!
