In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast, brown sugar and honey in the water, and let sit for 10 minutes.

Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour.

Turn the dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky.

Place the dough into a well oiled bowl and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out.

Put your favorite pizza ingredients onto your dough. My family loves to replace the normal pizza sauce with Ranch dressing. Yes, ranch dressing. Just pour it straight from the bottle and use in place of red sauce. You won’t be disappointed!

Note: If baking your pizza on a pizza stone, you may place your toppings on the dough, and bake immediately. If you’re baking your pizza on a pan, spray the pan before putting the dough on, and then let your dough rise an additional 15-20 minutes before topping and baking.

Cook pizza at 425 F for 12-18 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly. This recipe makes 2 pizza crusts, or one giant-sized one. I usually make two thinner type crusts.

Enjoy!
