Pizza Crust or Breadsticks

submitted by: Sonrisa Parker
serves: 2 pizzas or 24 breadsticks

Ingredients:
2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar or honey
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons yeast
6 cups flour

Directions:
Combine water, oil, sugar or honey, and salt in large mixing bowl. Stir until dissolved. Sprinkle yeast over mixture and stir until dissolved. Gradually add flour, stirring after each addition. (I usually can only get four cups mixed in until I start kneading.) Knead on floured surface 8-10 minutes, or until it’s not sticky. Shape into a ball and place in greased bowl. Cover and let rise for one hour, if you have time. If you don’t, it still works fine. Punch down and divide in half. Roll out and place in two lightly greased pizza pans or cookie sheets. For pizza, add desired toppings. For breadsticks, cut into bread sticks with pizza cutter. Bake at 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
