Dipping Pizza

2 C luke warm water

2T yeast

1T sugar

1t salt

4C flour

Mix water, salt, sugar, yeast, and a little of the flour

When it starts to bubble, you can put in the rest of the flour

Grease a cookie sheet and flour your hands. Push the dough down into the bottom of the cookie sheet (until it's flat and fairly thin). Cover with any toppings you want (no sauce though).
I usually put mozzarella and parmesan cheese with pepperoni. Cook at 350 for 30 minutes maximum. Check at about 20 minutes to see how it's doing. After baked cut and dip into your favorite spaghetti sauce (or ranch dressing).
