3 cups All Purpose Flour         Oven 400 degrees
1 pkg instant yeast (.25 oz.)
2 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
8 oz. milk, warmed to 110 degrees
4 oz. water, warmed to 110 degrees
1 medium sweet onion chopped
1 tbsp butter or margarine

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Prepare pizza pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.  Begin by sauteeing chopped onion in butter over medium heat until translucent (approx. 5 minutes). Allow onions to cool. Combine dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.  Add warmed liquids all at once to the dry mixture.  Stir until well mixed, incorporating all the dry ingredients. Add cooked onions and mix again.  Cover the bowl with a clean towel and set aside for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the dough to rise.  Empty dough out onto a clean, floured surface.  Knead by hand 6-8 times, it may be necessary to add additional flour to the surface to keep dough from sticking. Roll into desired shape and thickness.  Place rolled dough onto prepared pizza pan, add favorite sauce and toppings.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, depending on crust thickness.
