Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water (225ml )
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1 package (1 Tbsp.) active dry yeast
• 3 ¼ cups (350 grams) TC Bread Mix
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

1. In a small bowl combine ½ cup water, sugar, and yeast. Stir with a fork to dissolve yeast, and set aside for 5 minutes.
2. Place the TC Bread Mix, salt, and olive oil in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse several times to combine. (Or use a mixer with a dough attachment … or use a big bowl and a wooden spoon)
3. Add the yeast mixture and pulse to combine. Add more water, a little at a time and process/mix, until you have a sticky dough. (You may need a little less than 1 cup total). Knead the dough 8 – 10 times.
4. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl and cover. Set in a warm place and allow dough to rise for 20 minutes.
5. Cut the dough in half. Form each half into a small circle and then roll out to make a 12-inch pizza.
6. Brush with olive oil before adding sauce and toppings.

Notes: A pizza stone helps make the best pizzas. You can brush a crust with oil and bake for just 5 minutes…then when it cools wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze for a later use.
