Add salt and flour and mix to a ball of dough. Turn out on to er and knead for 2 minutes adding more flour as needed to keep it from sticking.

This dough is enough to press out to a 14” circle or 2 9” round circles for individual pizzas or a very thin half sheet pan size. Place onto lightly greased sheet. Arrange toppings.
Bake for about 12 minutes until crust is golden.
Pizza is one of my favorites! I grew up in the Northeast and we have a tendency to be a bit picky about our pizza. I love how easy this dough is and the sky is the limit for toppings. I have done everything from sweet to Brussels Sprouts!
