I’m jumping on the No Knead Dough bandwagon.  I have been in search of an easy, good, pizza crust.  I like chewy pizza, no thin crust here.  I like those pizza bones to be worth my while.  Things in my bread machine weren’t cutting it (unintentional pun, but I’m leaving it) so I went with this instead.  Could not be easier!

• 3 cups flour (I used bread flour)
• 1 1/2 c. warm water
• 1/4 tsp yeast
• 1 tsp salt
• (I added this for pizza dough, but you can easily leave it out) 1/2 Tbs Italian seasoning

Mix flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl.  Add water and stir well (get those arm muscles working!)  Dough will be shaggy and sticky.  Cover, and allow to sit for 12-20 hours.  (HOURS.  Really.)  For pizza, I then divided it in half, rolled each into a circle (using lots of extra flour because like I said, it’s super sticky) and then cover it again and let it rise for two hours.  We topped this one with tomatoes, sausage, and peppers, and baked it for 14 minutes at 425.  (I used the pizza stone this time, but won’t next time because it makes things too crispy for me.)
