Ingredients:
1 package active dry yeast1/4 cup lukewarm water 1 cup boiling water 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon shortening 1 3/4 cups flour 3 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
Soften yeast in luke warm water for 10 minutes.Place sugar, salt, shortening and boiling water in a large bowl, stir until sugar and shortening dissolve. Cool to lukewarm. Add yeast mixture. Add 1/2 cup flour and beat until smooth. Add remaining flour or enough to make dough just barely firm enough to handle. Knead until smooth on a lightly floured board. Divide in half. Knead each piece into a smooth ball. Flatten each ball on to a lightly greased round or rectangular pizza pan. Press out to spread the dough around the pan, creating a slight rim round the edge. Let rise for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 500ºF. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil. Add your favorite toppings. Bake for 8-12 minutes. The edges will be a nice golden brown when it's done. Serves 2 to 4.
