Parmesan Pizza Crust

Prep: (without children underfoot): 20min + rising Bake: 20min. Makes: 2 9in pizzas (this feeds 2 toddlers, 1 preschooler, and 2 adults)

• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
• 1 cup bisquick
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 TBSP sugar
• 4 tsp olive oil, divided
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water.

2. In a large mixing bowl mix together the bisquick, cheese, sugar, 1 TBSP of oil, Italian seasoning, and 1 cup flour. Mix in the yeast water. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).

3. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-6 min. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the cop. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 min.

4. Punch dough down; divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 9 in circle, transfer to to pizza pans that are coated with cooking spray. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork; brush with remaining oil (I always run out of oil so use more if you do run out for both pizzas).

5. Bake at 400 degrees for eight minutes or until lightly browned. Spread with desired sauce and toppings. Bake for 10-12 minutes longer or until cheese melts.
