Main Dish

1 pkg yeast (about 2 1/4 tsp) 1 tsp salt
2 tsp honey or brown sugar 4 tsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups warm water 3 1/3 to 3 2/3 cups ww flour
Cornmeal for dusting stone


In large bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey or sugar in the water and let sit for 10 minutes. Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups flour. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well-oiled bowl and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out. Roll dough on lightly floured surface into 14-inch circle to fit baking stone or pan. Lightly dust baking stone with cornmeal to keep pizza from sticking. (If using a pan, you will need to grease it first.) Place dough on preheated baking stone. Top dough with pizza toppings and bake at 425 degrees for 15-25 minutes depending on how dark you want your pizza. It may take a little longer with a pan rather than a stone.
