Ranch Dressing Artichoke Pizza

Pizza Crust

2/3 cup plus 2 T warm water

1 ½ tsp yeast

2 tsp sugar

2 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1 T oil

In a small bowl or measuring cup dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Sift together the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Make a depression in the flour and pour in the oil and yeast mixture. Use a fork to stir the liquid, gradually drawing in more flour as you stir, until all the ingredients are combined. When you can no longer stir with a fork, use your hands to form the dough into a ball. Knead the dough with the heels of your hands on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes, or until the texture of the dough is smooth. Form the dough back into a ball, coat it lightly with oil, and place it into a clean bowl covered with plastic wrap. Keep the bowl in a warm place for about 2 hours to allow the dough to double in size.

Roll the dough out onto a baking sheet or pizza pan until very thin.
