Pizza Dough
Ingredients
3 C. flour
3 Tbs. olive oil
1 tsp. salt
 1/2 C. warm water
1 Tbs. yeast (1 pkg.)
1 tsp. sugar

Directions
Preheat oven 425 degrees.  Prepare yeast, pour water into bowl and add yeast. Sprinkle sugar on top. Yeast is ready when it starts to be bubbly about 10 minutes.  Mix flour and salt first, then add olive oil. Next add yeast mixture.  Add more warm water until the dough is soft and sticky. Knead for 5-7 minutes.  Then put in a bowl covered with wet cloth and let rise 40-60 minutes.  Split dough in half and roll thin.  Cover cook sheets with corn meal and put rolled dough onto it.  Pour a little more olive oil on and cook in oven for 5 minutes.  Then take out and add toppings and cook for another additional 7 minutes or so.

1 C. flour
1/3 C. sugar
1 tsp. salt
yeast packet (2 1/4 tsp.)

Directions
Heat milk, water, butter together until warm (not to hot because of the yeast).  I like to cut the butter up into smaller pieces.  In separate bowl prepare yeast  with 1/2 C. warm water and 1 tsp. sugar.  Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl then stir in wet ingredients.  Add 2 eggs, then continue to add flour until soft dough forms.  Knead until smooth and elastic.  Let rise and then punch down and make rolls. Bake at 350 degrees for about 18-20 minutes.

Texas Roadhouse Rolls Erin's Edition

1 Tbs. yeast
1/3 C. warm water
1 tsp. sugar (for yeast mixture)
1 C. lukewarm milk
3/4 C. sugar
1 1/2 Tbs. butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs

Directions
Dissolve yeast in warm water with a teaspoon of sugar in the bowl of stand mixer.  Once yeast has dissolved and is bubbly, add milk, sugar and 1 cup of flour. Beat thoroughly on medium speed. Let stand for about 2 minutes until foamy.  Add melted butter, eggs and salt. Beat well.

Add the remaining flour slowly, until a soft dough forms. Note do not use more than 5 cups of flour. You want a soft and slightly sticky dough.

Knead dough in mixer for about 4 minutes, until smooth and satiny. Cover bowl with warm wet towel or plastic wrap and let double in size.  Then remove from bowl and place on lightly floured surface. Roll dough out into a rectangle that is 1/2 inch thick. Carefully handling dough, fold over making a smaller rectangle that is 1 inch thick. Slice dough into squares and place on greased cookie sheet. Spray with pam and cover with plastic wrap and let double in size again.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven.
