Pizza Crust

I got a pizza stone for my birthday last month!  I've never had any kind of stone bakeware, and I'm a chicken when it comes to cooking with yeast, but I was excited to try my hand at homemade pizza crust.  Last night I gave it a shot and it was pretty easy and very good!  The dough was a little sticky and hard to get out of the mixing bowl, but other than that this recipe was so easy.  I like knowing exactly what's going into my pizza.  This might become a staple in the Kahler house!

Pizza Crust
From allrecipes.com

1 package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt

Dissolve yeast and sugar in water in a mixing bowl until cream, about 10 minutes.  Mix in flour, salt and oil.  Beat until smooth.  Let rest for 5 minutes.  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. Spread with desired toppings and bake at 450 for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let baked pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.
