Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

A quick and chewy pizza crust that can be made in 30 minutes.

1 package (TB) active dry yeast
1 tsp white sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cup bread flour
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt

1. Preheat oven to 450 F. In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about ten minutes.

2. Stir in flour, salt, and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for five minutes.

3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or baker's peel dusted with cornmeal. Cook for five minutes. Spread on desired toppings and bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let baked pizza cool for five minutes before serving.
