"Guide to Modern Meals" Pizza Dough(Another Foods Lab Special)

Put shortening, sugar and salt in large mixing bowl.

Add boiling water and cool to 120°.

Sprinkle yeast over 1/4 cup lukewarm water and stir to dissolve.

Add about 1 cup of the flour and beat until smooth.

Stir in the rest of the flour as needed to make dough that is soft, but not so soft that it is sticky.

Turn dough out onto floured board, scraping bowl clean. Knead dough for 5 to 8 minutes or until smooth and small bubbles of gas appear beneath the surface.

Allow it to sit in a warm place for approximately 15 to 30 minutes, until double in bulk. Punch down dough.

Turn out on floured pastry sheet and stretch to fit a greased pizza pan.
