Ingredients for
Pizza Dough
(for 2 medium size pizzas)

2 cups flour
2 tsp yeast
2 tsp Rick's Chef Salt
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Mix well, add 1 cup warm water (105° to 110°)
mix, knead, let rise once. Then roll out for pizza or shape for bread. For bread I like to sprinkle the top of the bread with Rick's Chef salt and a favorite herb or herb blend, lightly pat with water, let rise and bake. Because this mixture has yeast in it, I don't know how far ahead you
can make the dry mix and have it still rise. I haven't
let it sit for more than a few weeks!
