1 1/2 cups hot water
3 1/2 cups flour

Mix all ingredients in kitchen aid and let it do the kneading :) Let dough rise 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 500.

Cut dough into 2 pieces. Roll into 2 large pizza circles.

Cook dough on hot pizza stone about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. (one at a time)Some of mine bubbled up and I just kinda pushed the air out.

Let the crust cool for about 10 minutes.

Toppings:
Pizza sauce: of your choice
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons cornmeal
Toppings of your choice: I used pepperoni, sausage, bacon, olives, onion, green peppers

Top with pizza sauce and cheese. Ending with the herbs and pepper on the very top.

Bake until cheese if melted and lightly browned or freeze for later.

To freeze: Place on cardboard rounds or cookie sheet and flash freeze. When frozen, wrap tightly with plastic wrap.

To bake after freezing, bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
