Awesome Pizza Crust--Makes 6

This recipe is so very awesome!!  Our family loves it!!

4 cups warm water
1/4 cup sugar or honey
3 tablespoons yeast
2 teaspoons salt
11 cups flour---it calls for white, we use half white/half prairie gold
                         have used all prairie gold and it worked great!
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
6 Tablespoons butter

1)  Dissolve yeast and sugar/honey in 1 1/2 cups warm water.  Let stand 5 to
      6 minutes or until foamy.

2)  In a large bowl, mix together 1/2 flour, remaining water, garlic powder, salt
      oregano and butter.  Add yeast mixture and stir to combine.  Slowly add
      remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until a soft dough forms.

3)  Transfer to a light oiled surface.  Divide dough in half and place into two
      plastic bags.  Place in refrigerator.   Let rise until tripled in size.  About 1 hour.

4)  When you take out of fridge, divide each half into 3 equal pieces. Each piece
      is enough to make one pizza.  Roll out with a rolling pin to the size you need.
      We also use Pampered Chef bar pans.  They work great.

5)  Bake each pizza crust at 450 for 6 minutes.  Allow to cool.  Then top with your
      favorite toppings!  Bake the pizza right on the oven shelf.  It will come out perfect!!

One of our favorites is to use barbeque sauce instead of pizza sauce and then top
with chicken and mozzarella cheese.  YUMMMMYYY!!

I hope your families enjoy this one as much as ours does!

We also make a bulk amount of the pizzas and freeze them.  Take out a little before
you want to use them and then just bake at 450 for about 16 minutes.
