Pizza Crust

Makes 4 pizzas

3 ½ Cups Flour
1 T. Salt
1 T. Sugar
1 ½ Cups Hot Water
2 T. Yeast
3 T. Virgin Olive Oil
1 Egg
Corn Meal

Pre-heat pizza stone 1 hour early at 500°

Mix in a large bowl flour, salt, and sugar & set aside. Mix water and yeast in a small bowl, wait 5 minutes and add oil. Add yeast mixture to flour mixture, and then add the egg. Knead until dough is all mixed and cover bowl to allow dough to rise for 30-45 minutes.
Pound down, divide into 4 balls, and let rise again for another 10 minutes or until dough is flexible. Roll individual balls on a floured surface into circles. Transfer dough to a pizza board that has corn meal sprinkled on it. Add pizza sauce, basil, toppings, and cheese. Shift pizza to pizza stone and cook for 8 minutes or until the crust is brown and the cheese is melted. Enjoy!!
