Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
- Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- About 2 hours before needed:
- Dissolve in 2 cups warm water in this order: 1 tb each of sugar, dry yeast and salt. Blend in with a large spoon 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups of flour. You can also add two tablespoons of olive oil for flavor.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and springy. Clean and grease your large bowl, place the dough in it, cover and let rise until doubled in bulk (1 to 2 hours).
- Preheat oven to 450.
- Punch down dough, divide into 3 - 4 pieces.
- Roll out each piece on a floured surface, with a floured rolling pin into circles that fit into 12 inch pizza pans. (To roll, work from the center to the outside like pie dough. Let the dough rest several times to relax it and make it more cooperative. Turn it over from time to time and roll the reverse side.
- Brush on a bit of olive oil; spread pizza or spaghetti sauce lightly over the surface and add own toppings. Sprinkle the top with grated cheese.
- Bake for 15 mins.
- Note: 1 TABLESPOON OF YEAST IS EQUAL TO THREE TEASPOONS OF YEAST IF YOU NEED TO CUT THE RECIPE DOWN SOME IN VOLUME.
