Pizza crust- Pioneer Woman recipe

FOR THE CRUST (MAKES TWO CRUSTS):
1 teaspoon Active Dry Or Instant Yeast
4 cups All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
⅓ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
_____
Preparation Instructions
TO MAKE THE CRUST:

Sprinkle yeast over 1 1/2 cups warm (not lukewarm) water.
In a mixer, combine flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with paddle attachment), drizzle in olive oil until combined with flour. Next, pour in yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined.

Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil, and form the dough into a ball. Toss to coat dough in olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until you need it. ***It’s best to make the dough at least 24 hours in advance, and 3 or 4 days is even better.

Soccer

Nana(Kay) and I spent all morning at the soccer field. Brett had games at 9 and 12, Will and I had one at 10. They were all great games. The kids were all so cute. One little girl on my team told me I could have her soccer bows. We got see Mike- a friend of the family so that made it even better.

Fair and Will's 1st day of school

Will had his first day of pre-k on the 8th. He likes it and enjoys getting to see all of his friends 3 mornings a week. We had the Amarillo fair this past week and we are all pooped. We started on Thursday and finished Sunday night. Brett won the best of show award and the best of 4H award with his 4H plaque Saturday at an awards ceremony. I did okay with my entries and 4Y did great with the heifers. Hope everyone is doing great and has a great fall. Come on cooler weather. I'm coaching Will's soccer team and cooler weather would be so welcome.
