Yields: 1 regular pizza in approx 20 to 25 minutes (including cool time)

Dylan says, "The olives are Hayden's side and the cheese is my side."




Ingredients:
1 envelope Fleischmann's Pizza Crust Yeast Fast & Easy (follow directions on the back)
1 3/4 to 2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup very warm tap water
3 Tbsp oil
about 3/4 cup or so Homemade Marinara Sauce
about 3/4 cup or so mozzarella cheese
1 small can black olives
Pizza stone

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 500*F with the pizza stone already inside the oven.
2. Combine 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.  Add water and oil.  Mix together well blended, about 1 minute.
3. Add gradually, 1/2 cup flour until soft dough ball is formed; will be slightly sticky.  Add additional flour if needed to form dough ball.
4. Knead on a floured surface adding additional flour if needed, until smooth and elastic; about 4 minutes.  With floured hands, press dough out or use a rolling pin to make a round pizza pie crust (about 12" round).
5. Top with mozzarella cheese all over.  Top half the pizza with olives.
6. Bake on pizza stone for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and crust is brown.
7. Cool, cut and eat.
