One of the things I get asked for the most is a pizza dough recipe! I have two different ones that I like. One is more for a thinner crust and the other is more not so thin crust

Thick Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water
- 1/2 cup melted margarine (or of oil)
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp yeast
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Flour
Instructions
- Put your water and salt in a large bowl and stir to let the salt dissolve. And set it aside.
- In a different bowl mix the eggs and sugar until frosty.
- Combine into the biggest bowl.
- Add 1/2 of the melted margarine (or oil). Stir well.
- Start adding flour until it gets hard to stir with a spoon.
- Sprinkle yeast on top and stir it in.
- Now start adding flour until the dough comes together and you can handle it.
- Knead it a bit with your hands.
- (If you are using a Bosch or a kitchen-aid it will start to pull away from the sides.)
- It should be a nice clean dough that you poke your hand into and it just leaves a dent that pops back out.
- Turn the dough over so the smooth side is on the top.
- Then pour the rest of the margarine (or oil) over top and grease the sides of the bowl with it too.
- Let rise in a warm spot until doubled.
- Roll it into your pans.
