This is a delicious pizza crust recipe that is not too difficult to make. Everyone loves pizza and has their favorite pizza recipes, whether they make it homemade or order in. I have included lots of suggestions for sauces and pizza toppings. My personal favorite is to use no sauce at all. Just dot the pizza crust with olive oil and sprinkle it with Italian herbs like oregano and basil. Add your favorite toppings plus lots of cheese and bake. Sliced tomatoes go well on this type of white pizza crust base, as it gives that nice tomato taste without all the sauce. 
Pizza Crust Recipe1 package active dry yeast Soften yeast in luke warm water for 10 minutes. Place sugar, salt, shortening and boiling water in a large bowl, stir until sugar and shortening dissolve. Cool to lukewarm. Add yeast mixture. Add 1/2 cup flour and beat until smooth. Add remaining flour or enough to make dough just barely firm enough to handle. Knead until smooth on a lightly floured board. Divide in half. Knead each piece into a smooth ball. Flatten each ball on to a lightly greased round or rectangular pizza pan. Press out to spread the dough around the pan, creating a slight rim round the edge. Let rise for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 500ºF. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil. Add your favorite toppings. Bake for 8-12 minutes. The edges will be a nice golden brown when it's done. Pizza Sauces:Tomato sauce
Pizza Toppings:Cheese of course - anything that melts well like mozzarella, but also try asiago, parmesan, cheddar, brie (but I would use a different sauce for brie, maybe a creamy sauce) Our entire collection of recipes can be found here.
