Quick and easy pizza dough

Pizza is so fun to make. You can use almost any veggies, meat, toppings you have lying around the house, making it a very versatile dish. I've tried a bunch of differnt dough recipes, and so far this one has been the best. It has a very short ingredient list, it's soft and chewy , but not too flufy that the pizza is dry and seems to be just a huge chunk of bread. Best of all, it only needs to rise for 15 minutes, instead of the usual hour.

Joachim just couldn't get enough of this pizza~

Ingredients:
1 pkg. dry yeast (or two slightly rounded teaspoons)
3/4 c. very warm water (120-130 degrees)
2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Soak yeast in water for 5 minutes. Add flour, salt and sugar and mix to blend. Knead for 2-3 minutes until flour is well blended. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes. Roll dough to fit a 12 inch pizza pan. Top pizza with tomato sauce and toppings of your choice. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is browned and bubbly.
