Super Fast and Easy Pizza Dough/ Crust

Submitted by Sarah Chana

"A recipe from Fleischmann's. Always good. You can substitute 1 cup of whole wheat flour for one cup of the white flour. You can add in some parmesan cheese if you'd like. Or, you can replace 1/2 cup of cornmeal for 1/2 cup of the flour. Have fun experimenting."

Great thin crust. Easy to prepare, quick to rise and cook, and best of all its crispy and great tasting. I usually make two batches, one for dinner, and the second I slice and freeze wrapped in plastic. It tastes great fresh or frozen.

Made for our bacon cheeseburger pizza and it turned out delicious. I should have kneaded it in the KitchenAid but five minutes of kneading wasn't bad. My family really enjoyed this and I will come back to this one, was thinking about making calzones with this dough. Thank you!
