Pizza Crust?

I've cooked a lot of pizza, but I always use crust bought from the local bakery. I've tried homade once before and it was a disaster. Anyone have a fool (me) proof dough that doesn't need to sit overnight. I'm having pizza tonight and would like to mix it up some.

1.5 tbs of yeast1 cup warm water, just warm, let the yeast sit in the water until it bubbles (about 5 min)2 cups flour1 tsp salt1 tbs sugarmix all ingredients in stand mixer, mix on slow till a dough ball is made around the bread hook. remove and knead a ball on a mat that has loose flour sprinkled on it. then i just let the ball sit for while I'm doing the other stuff maybe 30 min. When making pies i like to par bake it on a non stick sprayed aluminum pan for 5-7 min until done enough to move off easy. this is not needed but I'm not very good at moving the raw pies, thinking about getting a super peel._______________________________________________XLBGE

Zippylip's recipe is solid, and a good starting point. It was my first scratch-made dough recipe. Other than that, I would maybe pick up a doughball from your favorite local pizza joint.
And next pizza session, manage the time to allow for a longer fermentation.

Our "same day" crust mix is similar to the above except, only 1 tsp of yeast. After mixing, it goes into an oiled bowl, covered and let rise for an hour or two, then work out onto the same PC mat as @MrCookingNurse!This mix even works in a skillet for deep dish, although a Tbs or two of corn meal is nice.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Thanks for the imput. I was just at the local grocery store salad bar loading up on fresh cut veggies. I don't have any yeast at home. The kids are napping and wife working so I'm going to have to try homemade on Sunday.

I think that you should try the Tipo 00 flour sold by Antimo Caputo. I did 4 pizzas last weekend that were out of this world. I got my dough recipe from a pizzamaking forum and it is great. I will post the recipe for a 14" pizza when I get home later tonight. You won't be disappointed.

This is a great dough recipe from Serious Eats. I highly recommend it.
