THICK CRUST PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Combine the first 4 dry ingredients in a large bowl. I prefer to use the Kitchen Aid mixer.
• Combine water and oil, then add to the dry ingredients. I use my KitchenAid mixer to mix then use the dough hook to knead for about 5 minutes. You can mix by hand then knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Grease a bowl with olive oil and put ball of dough in it. Toss it around to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise 20 minutes. I use the same mixer bowl so I don't dirty another dish. In a rush, I sometimes skip this rise. The dough will still be good, just not as thick or pliable.
• Grease a 12" or 16" pizza pan and spread dough out with your hands on the pan. Don't use a rolling pin. Let rise for 15 more minutes.
• Top pizza with olive oil, Italian spices, garlic powder, salt. Then add your favorite pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, toppings and parmesan cheese.
