Pizza Dough

1 c milk
1 T yeast
3 1/2 c flour
2 T shortening (Dixie like butter-flavored Crisco)
1/4 c warm water
1 t salt
1 egg, beaten

Put the milk in a glass bowl and microwave for 4 minutes.  Then add the shortening and salt.  Let cool until fairly warm.  In another cup add the water and yeast.  After the milk mixture has cooled add 1/2 of the flour, the beaten egg and the yeast.  Let sit a minute.  Then add the rest of the flour and mix.  Roll out on the Pam-sprayed, flour spinkled counter.  If you like cornmeal on your crust, sprinkle some on your baking pan.  Separate the dough into 2 pieces and roll them out to fit 2 round pizza pans or 2 cookie sheets (not quite full).  Let it sit a little, put on the sauce and then your toppings.  Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes.
