ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 1⁄4 teaspoons fast rising yeast, 1 packet
- 2 1⁄2 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons bacon drippings, melted

directions
- Combine the water, yeast, and 1 1/2 cups of the flour in a large bowl.

- Add the last part of flour gradually until the dough holds its shape .
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes adding more flour as needed.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased (bacon drippings) bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel, and let the dough rest in a warm area (I put mine in the oven with light on) until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- When the dough has risen, place it on a lightly floured surface, divide it into two or more parts and roll them into balls. Cover them with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
- The dough is ready to be shaped, topped and cooked.
- Cook at 375 for 20 to 25 minutes until bottom is golden brown.

Great recipe for pizza dough!! Nice flavor and very easy to work with, even for a super thin and crispy type of crust. I made 1/4 of the recipe and then divided that into two balls, used one to make an individual pizza and froze the other ball for another pizza in the future. I used my baking stone and forgot to get it hot prior to baking the pizza, so the crust wasn't done enough when the topping was so I took the pizza off of the stone and added it directly to the rack in the oven. I tented the top with foil, so it didn't get burnt while crust was cooking, but the cheese stuck to it, so I didn't bother taking photo's. Thanks for sharing the recipe which I will now use from here on out. Made for PRMR tag game.
