Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 teaspoon sugar
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 cans (6-1/2 ounces each) chopped clams, drained

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the flour, salt and oil; beat until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 15-20 minutes.
Punch dough down. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 14-in. pizza pan; build up edges slightly. Prick dough several times with a fork.
