2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or wheat or a mixture of both
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil


In a cup put water, yeast, and brown sugar. Stir and let proof will look creamy.
Add salt and oil to yeast mix.
In a bowl place 3 cups of flour, parmesan cheese and parsley.
Add yeast mix to flour. mix
Dust 1/2 cup of flour on to table. Knead dough untill no longer sticky.
Place dough in a well oiled bowl.
Cover with wet cloth, let raise for 30-60 mins
Then punch down and knead additional 2-3 mins.

Bake at 400-425 degrees for 15-20 minutes depends on oven

  2. We also eat pizza at LEAST once a week, but I used to stock up on those cheap jiffy pizza crusts mix's, I just ran out and after my cooking revelation about a month ago, I am ready to make my own, so THANK YOU for this recipe. Also, do you pre-bake your crust before adding toppings or do you top and bake it once? The one I used to make, I baked a few minutes before adding toppings.
