Instructions

1 Combine flour, salt and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add liquid ingredients and
mix with paddle or beaters for 4 minutes on medium speed. Gradually add
additional flour if needed and knead with dough hook(s) 5 to 7 minutes until
smooth and elastic. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top.
Cover; let rise until dough doubles and passes the ripe test

2 Preheat oven to 375°. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; punch down to
remove air bubbles. Divide dough into 6 pieces. Shape to balls. Let dough relax
10 minutes. On floured surface, roll each piece into an 8-inch circle.
3 Spoon pizza sauce, cheese and toppings onto half of each circle. Make egg wash.
Moisten edge of dough with egg wash mixture. Fold in half; seal edge by pressing
with fork. Prick each top; brush with remaining egg mixture. Bake on greased
cookie sheets for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
