Jill's Pizza Dough

This is a recipe I use all the time. It is great because you do not have to let it rise so you can make it right when you are ready to start dinner. It makes about three 12" - 14" crusts. For me the crust turns out the best when I cook it on a pizza stone. This is great for get togethers. We make it with friends and the kids enjoy pepperoni, the men get a meat lovers supreme, and I usually get to enjoy a vegetarian all to myself. I really sometimes love that my husband hates vegetables.

Combine in a Bowl :
2 C. warm Water
2 TBS. Yeast
Let sit for 5 - 10 min.

In a Large Bowl:
5 C. Flour
Cut in 2 TBS Shortening
Add -
2 TBS. Sugar
2 Tsp. Salt

After all dry ingredients are mixed slowly mix in water and yeast mixture. Mix and kneed with your hands until it is all mixed together. Seperate the dough into 3 equal parts. Roll dough out on a floured surface to fit your pizza stone. Add your favorite toppings and bake at 375 degrees for approximately 20 - 25 minutes.
