Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

This is my go-to recipe when I decide at 5:30 that I want pizza for dinner.  Not as light and delicious as some of my other recipes, but with only 5 minutes of rise time, it is good enough. From my aunt - Suellen Thompson.

1 pkg (2 1/4 t) active dry yeast
1 c warm water
1 t sugar
1 t salt
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 c flour (all-purpose, or a 1 c whole wheat, 1 1/2 c all-purpose for extra grainy goodness)

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in remaining ingredients. Beat vigorously 20 strokes (or two minutes in a mixer). Let rest 5 minutes. Spread in pizza pan. Add sauce and toppings. Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes.  Makes two 12 inch crusts.
