Pizza Crust...

So the other day i asked lanning what he wanted for dinner, he suggested papa murphy's pizza but homemade, so thanks to google i found a recipe for the crust....but i have to admit i was very skeptical that it would be any different from the other homemade dough recipes (which are good but sometimes you just crave the store-bought!) It was so good though! It smelled good, it looked good and it tasted so good. For the toppings we just put tomato sauce mixed with italian seasonings, tomatoes, peppers, cooked sausage and steamed broccoli and topped it off with cheddar cheese. Just thought i'd share with anyone interested in giving it a try! It really wasn't hard and it hit the spot! (ps...the photo is off the internet, not of the one we made)

Papa Murphy’s Pizza Dough Recipe is a bit tougher to make then some other pizza dough recipes, but if you enjoy good pizza it’s worth all the effort.

Ingredients

* 1 ¼ cups warm water * 1 packet active dry yeast * 1 ¼ tablespoons sugar * 3 ¼ cups flour * ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Mix together water, yeast and sugar in a glass container with a two cup or large capacity. 2. Allow to sit for eight to ten minutes. The mixture will froth somewhat. 3. Place flour and salt in a large bowl. 4. Add liquid to flour and mix thoroughly for four to six minutes, adding flour or water if dough is too dry or wet. 5. The end result should be slightly sticky and firm. 6. Remove from bowl and place in an airtight bag, do not close completely to allow gases to escape. 7. Leave in a warm place for an hour and a half for proper rising. Do not allow to rise more than two hours. 8. Place on a fourteen inch pizza sheet for thick crust and a sixteen inch sheet for thin crust. 9. Roll out and prick with fork. 10. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise fifteen to twenty minutes more. 11. Prick with fork again. 12. Top pizza as desired. 13. Preheat oven to 475 to 525 degrees (thicker toppings will require a higher temperature) and bake until crust is golden on the edges and cheese has browned and is bubbly.
