Best Pizza Dough

After trying many, many pizza dough recipes this is my favorite. I have made it several times with great success. I use a breadmaker though it turns out fine using a dough hook.

Ingredients

1 cup warm water (105 - 115 F)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 T corn oil
2 1/2 cups white flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 pkg active dry yeast (1/4 oz or 2 1/4 tsp)

Directions

For breadmaker:
Sift together the flours and cornmeal.
Put in water, salt, sugar, and cornmeal. I swish it around a little to ensure mixing.
Put in the flours and cornmeal mixture then then sprinkle yeast on top.
Mix on dough setting.

Let the dough rise for an hour then punch down. Put dough in refrigerator for 20 minutes (overnight is best) before making the pizza.

This recipe made enough for two 9 inch pizzas. I put the dough into a 9 inch iron skillet with sauce and toppings. Brush the dough with oil before putting on the sauce/toppings to prevent the sauce from soaking into the dough.
