Pizza Dough

This is a recipe that my family has used ever since I can remember. I have no idea of where it originated, but it is delicious. I prefer homemade pizza to any you can buy from a chain any day!
**********************************
Heat oven to 425 degrees.

Ingredients needed:
5 cups white/wheat flour
2 tsp. salt
2 cups lukewarm water
1 pkg. yeast

1. In large mixing bowl, mix five cups of flour with 2 tsp. salt.
2. In separate bowl, mix two cups warm water and 1 pkg. yeast.
3. Add water to flour mixture, mix together with hands until sticky.
4. Grease large bowl that won’t melt and place dough inside.
5. Set on top of preheated oven, let rise for about an hour.
6. Roll dough out to fit pan. Spread on pan lined with cornmeal.

Makes 2 to 3 large pizzas depending on how thick you like your crust. Add desired toppings and bake until cheese melts.
****************************************************
Variations:
You can use all wheat or all white flour, but I grew up using half of each and that is the way I like it best.

ENJOY!!
