Pizza dough

About 1 1/2 cups of flour, one package of dry yeast, 1tsp of salt, mix together. Add 1 cup of warm water and 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. If you're lazy, do this in a standing mixer. I use a wooden spoon. Slowly mix in 1 to 1 1/2 more cups of flour. Roll out on to a floured surface to knead. Slowly work in more flour until the dough is elastic.
* Mix in parsley and red pepper flakes for a little kick.

Cover the dough with a warm, wet cloth and let rest for 10 minutes. Divided in two, this can make 2 12in pizzas. Roll each half to a circle and place on a greased pizza pan. Bake at 450 for 10 minutes.

Melt 4tbsp of butter, mix in 2tsp of garlic powder. Brush along the edges of the pizza crust.

Bonus:
Bursh crush with Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Top pizza crust with minced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and chopped black olives.
Grilled chicken (seasoned with paprika)
Mozzarella and parmesan cheese
