Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 package active dry yeast -- 2-1/2 t.
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup semolina flour
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray -- olive oil is best

Place 1 cup of warm (110 to 115 degrees) water in a small
mixing bowl, and sprinkle in the yeast and sugar; stir to
combine. Set the mixture aside for 5 minutes, or until
foamy.
In the large mixing bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a
dough hook, combine the flours, salt, and yeast mixture,
and mix until the dough is relatively smooth.
Lightly flour a flat surface. Remove the dough from the
bowl, place on the surface, and knead by and for 10
minutes. If the dough is too wet, add small amounts of
flour; if too dry, add drops of water. The dough should be
smooth and elastic.
Very lightly spray a large bowl with olive oil cooking
spray. Place the dough in the bowl, and turn it to coat it
with oil; cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm
place to rise for 45 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray or wipe
individual pizza pans or large baking sheets.
Punch down the dough, transfer it to a lightly floured
surface, and knead for 2 minutes. Let the dough rest for
20 minutes. On a floured surface, flatten it into four 10"
discs, using your fingertips. Place on a pizza pan. Top
with sauce and toppings and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or
until crisp.
Makes 4 crusts, about 8 slices each.

Ann's Notes: I used the bread machine for this dough with
no problems. Next time, I think I would make this recipe
into 3 pizzas as the crust was pretty thin (but extremely
delicious).
