Pizza Night

Years ago there was a boy
who gave me a cookbook filled
with all of his favorite recipes
that he was sure I'd make for him
someday. Everyday.
After I married the right one,
I copied the recipe for pizza dough
into a new book, and every time
I mix the dough and stretch it
into a circle, I'm so grateful
that I kept the recipe and not the boy.

30 minute pizza crust:
Preheat oven to 450.
Combine 3/4 cup water, 1 Tbs yeast, 1 tsp sugar, 3/4 tsp salt and 2-2 1/2 cups flour (up to half can be whole wheat without compromising texture). Cover and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes while you gather pizza toppings. Stretch out onto a greased pan or stone, poke with a fork, top as desired, and bake for 12-15 minutes.
