I found this via the net and am posting it in response to a request for it.

1 pizza (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 1/2-3 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons fast rising yeast (or fast rise, 1 envelope)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup very warm water (120 to 130 degrees)
2 tablespoons oil

Directions

1
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt; blend well.
2
Gradually add water and oil to mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened, then beat for 2 minutes at medium speed. By hand, add 1 1/2 to 2 cupa flour until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
3
On floured surface, knead in 1/4 to 1/2 cup flour until dough is smooth and elastic. Cover loosely with plastic and let rest in a warm place for about 15 minutes.
4
Press out dough onto (2) 12-inch pizza pans. Prick randomly with a fork. Let rest again in a warm place for 10-15 minutes.
5
Brush crusts lightly with oil then prebake them in a 450 degree oven for 5 minutes.
6
Top as desired, then bake again in 450 degree oven for 4-5 minutes, or until desired doneness.

very good and easy. i was kind of worried because there wasn't really any long periods for the dough to rise. but it turned out very light and moist. good stuff =)

I can't tell you how many pizza dough recipe's we've tried. This one by far is the best! Works with pre-cooking the crust for 5 minutes, or just putting the ingredients on and popping it in the oven w/out pre-baking it.

This crust is great, the only thing I'll change in the future is to cut the recipe down because it seemed about 25-30% too big for just one pizza, maybe my measurements were a little off, trying to convert to metric, but if the crust had been just a tad thinner it would have been perfect. I also added the corn meal to the crust after the first baking. Would you believe this is the best pizza I've had in 2 years in Argentina?! The pizza here is too thin with few toppings.

We liked this, but wouldn't have compared it to Papa John's if not for the recipe title. It was a slightly sweet crust. It made one thin crust pizza on my pizza stone. The dough was easy to work with, but I didn't need nearly as much flour as was called for in order for it to pull away from the bowl. (I'm assuming that's why I only got one pizza out of the dough, also.) Overall, a nice crust, and I'll probably make it again. Thanks for sharing!
