Lauren's Pizza Dough

I got this recipe from one of my great friends, Lauren (thus the name). She uses it for both pizza and calzones.

Lauren's Pizza Dough

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 pkg)
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups flour
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in remaining ingredients and knead until smooth. Let rest 5 minutes. Ready to go! Bake 15-20 minutes at 475 degrees F (or longer at lower temperature, like 30-35 minutes at 375 degrees F).

*******My notes: I usually use instant yeast, so I skip the dissolving the yeast part. This recipe will almost fill a jelly roll pan. Sometimes I add some garlic powder and italian seasonings to the dough to make it extra yummy.
