  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pkg           Dry yeast
   1      tb            Oil
   1      c             Water -- boiling
   3      c             Flour
   1      ts            Salt

Dissolve yeast in 2 tb lukewarm water. Place oil in bowl with boiling 
water. Let both mixtures cool some. Then add dissolved yeast to 
oil/water mixture. Add flour and salt. Mix, knead, and divide into 2 or 
3 parts, depending on how thin or thick you desire your crust. Roll 
balls out to pizza pan size and place on pan that has been sprinkled 
with cornmeal. This will allow the pizza to be slid off onto oven rack 
to brown bottom. Lightly grease top of dough with olive oil. Place a 
scant ladle of pizza sauce or tomato sauce on pizza (too much sauce 
causes toppings to slide off pizza). Spread it all over top of pizza. 
Add desired ingredients to your pizza and bake in 400 degree oven for 
about 20 minutes. Then slide off of pan onto oven racks to brown bottom, 
if desired. Continue baking about 3 to 5 more minutes.

Notes: This dough freezes exceptionally well. Wrap each completely. (I 
use plastic grocery bags.)

For Sloppy Joe Pizza: ground chuck, frozen corn (defrosted), barbecue 
sauce (instead of tomato or pizza sauce), sliced green onions, and 
shredded Jack cheese.
