I got this from Julie, but I have made it a couple of times.

(If it is too thick for your family, you can either half the recipe or put one full recipe onto two cookie sheets)
2 1/2 C. Medium Hot Water
5 tsp. SAF Instant Yeast*
2 Tbsp. Sugar
3 Tbsp. Oil
1 tsp. Salt
6 C. Flour (you can do half all-purpose and half white wheat or 100% whole wheat)
1 to 2 Cubes of Butter
Directions:
1. Pour medium hot water in mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and allow to dissolve.2. Add sugar, salt, and oil. Gradually add approximately 6 cups of flour.
3. Melt 1-2 cubes butter on cookie sheet in oven as it is heating to 400 degrees and melt in oven. 4. Place dough on cookie sheet and press to fill pan, make sure butter gets on top of the dough.
5. Allow to double in size (About 10-15 minutes)
6. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until desired browning is accomplished.
7. Cut into strips or top with favorite pizza toppings.

*When using regular yeast change amount to 2 Tbsp.

When I made these I used half of the dough for a pizza crust and the other half for bread sticks. It was plenty for both. If you are just doing a pizza crust I would recommend halving the recipe, but I don't know how that will turn out. I haven't tried it yet. I used half wheat flour and half all-pupose. I also only used one stick of butter total-1/3 for the pizza crust and 2/3 for the bread sticks. There is a how to video online. They are really easy to make.


These are the breadsticks and crust while rising. I put garlic salt, parmesan cheese, and parsley on the bread sticks before baking.


BBQ chicken pizza before baking.

  1. I halved the recipe tonight and it worked out just dandy. The dough was not as generous and you had to work a little bit to make it fit the entire pan but they were tasty!
