2 Tsp Olive Oil

2 1/2 C Flour

1/4 Tsp Salt

1 Tsp Garlic Powder

Directions:

In a bowl add half cup of warm water, and your yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until yeast activates. Then add one cup of water, olive oil, flour, salt and garlic powder. Mix till combined. You can knead it for a few minutes. Put it in a greased bowl and roll it in the oil then cover it. Let it rise for an hour. 

After an hour take your pizza dough and spread it on a greased pizza pan. We fork the dough personally, but you do not have to. It is a part of my Mamaw's recipe though.  Click that link for the rest of the pizza recipe. This dough however can be used for breadsticks and more. I am so happy that I could eat pizza, and it didn't mess with my health.
