What's for Dinner - Pizza

For dinner last night I made pizza. For a twist I tried adding some thyme to my crust (about a Tbsp)

Crust:
1 c warm water (about 80 deg)
1 pkg yeast (2 1/4 t)
1 t sugar
1 t salt
2 t oil
2 1/2 - 3 c flour

mix all together in a bowl and let rise 15 min. kneed in more flour if too sticky to work with and stretch out in a pan - I use a cookie sheet oiled with olive oil.

add pizza sauce and toppings (I used a can of hunts spaghetti sauce and added cheese, pepperoni, green pepper, olives, and diced tomatoes).

Bake at 350 for 20 - 25 min until cheese is melted. for a crispier crust you can bake it closer to the bottom burner for the first half of the time.
