Along the same lines... It's not as hard as most people think to make your own pizza crust (or other yeast breads). It takes maybe 20 minutes to mix up the dough, then you just wait for it to rise. The trick is realising that you want pizza at least two hours before you actually want it
Here's a recipe I've used a couple times (from shoeboxrecipes.com):
1 tablespoon yeast
1/2 cup warm water
2 cups bread flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
If you're using easyblend yeast you can just mix everything together. If not, you'll need to mix together the yeast & water (water should feel hot to your hand, but not so hot you can't stand it) and let it sit for about ten minutes to activate the yeast. Then add to the other ingredients. Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, place in an oiled bowl covered with cling film and let rise til doubled (usually takes 30-60 minutes in my chilly house). You can speed up this process by putting the dough in a warm place, but it's supposed to have a better flavour if it rises slowly. Once it's risen, punch it down (great way to take out your aggressions) roll or pat into a pizza shape, prick all over with a fork, apply a thin layer of olive oil & add whatever toppings you like. Bake at 220 for 15-20 minutes.
You can also make it ahead and freeze it for later use. Just defrost it thoroughly and let it come to room temperature before you use it.
