--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       oz           Fresh yeast -- OR
   2       pk           - Instant dry yeast granules
     1/2   c            Milk -- at room temperature
     3/4   c            Warm water (125F)
     1/2   ts           Salt
   3       c            Unbleached white flour

  IN A LARGE BOWL, dissolve the yeast in a mixture of
  the milk and water. Mix in the flour and salt to make
  a soft dough. Knead 10 minutes by hand, or 4 minutes
  in a heavy-duty mixer with a dough hook. Oil a clean
  bowl and set the dough in it, cover tightly with
  plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in bulk. (In
  the traditional warm place, this will take about 2
  hours. However, a cooler temperature will do as long
  as the dough has enough time to rise, including
  overnight in the refrigerator.) If the dough is ready
  sooner than it is needed, punch it down and
  refrigerate it or let it rise slowly again at room
  temperature until ready to use. When ready to use,
  divide into 4 equal parts. Roll 1 into an 8-inch
  round. Top with favorite toppings and bake 10 minutes
  in 450F oven. Makes 4 Pizzas
