The following text is for questions 10 to 13.

Ingredients:

• 1 package of rapid rise yeast.
• 1 cup warm water (the temperature you'd use for a baby's bath water)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/8 cup cornmeal

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl stir together flour sugar, salt, and yeast until well combined.
2. Pour in water and olive oil. Stir until the dough sticks together.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes, or until it forms a smooth ball.
4. Cover the dough ball with a plastic wrap and let it for 15-30 minutes, until you are ready to make your pizza.
5. Sprinkle a pizza pan with 1/8 cup cornmeal. Press the dough into the pan, spreading as you press, until it reaches almost to the edges of the pan. Allow resting for five minutes. Return to the dough and continue pressing until it overhangs the pan all around the edges slightly.
6. Fold over the edges and press to seal the form a crust.
7. Top the pizza with sauce and toppings of your choice and bake in 400-degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and cheese is bubbly.

Tips: You can combine 1 cup shredded cheese or mozzarella with 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano and 1/4 teaspoon dried basil. Sprinkle around the edges before you fold it.

Why should we let the dough for 15-30 minutes?
