This is an easy and Weight Watcher friendly pizza crust recipe. It works really well with soft white whole wheat flour if you don't want thick crust. Or you can mix 1/2 soft white and 1/2 hard red or white. The recipe calls for white flour.

Basic Pizza Dough

1 1/2 c. warm water (110-115)
1 tsp. sugar
1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 T. olive oil
4 1/4 c. flour

Combine the water, sugar and yeast in a large bowl; set aisde until foamy (just a couple minutes). Stir in the oil, salt and 2 c. flour and mix well. Add flour, 1 c. at a time, and continue stirring.

Turn the dough onto a lighly floured surfade; knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 min. (I use the 1/4c. flour for the kneading).

Place into an oiled bowl, cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

This recipe makes 2-12" pizzas with 6 servings each. So 1/12 of this recipe (1/6 of a pizza) is 3 WW points.
