I think the milk in this pizza dough maks a soft baked dough with a crisp crust,it was just perfect for us tonight . :-)

Pizza dough/Garlic- basic flavorings Hebrew פיצה מתכון
1 TB fresh yeast or 1 ts dry yeast
3/4- 1 cup milk (warm not hot)
2 cups AP flour
a pinch of salt
a pinch of sugar
2 TB olive oil
______
Cream the yeast in a bowl with a little milk.
Place the flour in a bowl with the salt,sugar,olive oil,creamed yeast, and just enough milk to form a stiff dough. Using the palms of your hands,knead on a floured surface to form a smooth dough.
Return to the bowl,cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes until well risen. Make any topping you like.. Knock back the dough and knead for a few minutes,then roll out on a floured surface,to fit a round baking pan(I use my new Pyrex Piza pan)or use 8 X 10 in baking pan.place the dough in the pan,and pull it into the corners.Top with your Topping/vegetables..
Bake in a preheated oven at 400F(200C) for about 20 minutes or until risen and golden.Serve ,cut into pieces.
