Instructions: Whisk together water, yeast and sugar in a bowl and set aside to proof for 10 minutes. In a large bowl sift together flour and salt and sprinkle in thyme. Mix eggs into yeast mixture. Pour liquid into dry ingredients and mix until a soft sticky dough forms. Remove dough to a lightly floured surface and knead 5 minutes, until dough is no longer sticky. Place in a well oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides, cover and allow to rise until doubled in bulk 2 - 3 hours. Punch dough down and place into a well oiled 12" pizza pan using your hands, move dough around the bottom of the pan and 2/3 the way up the sides. Set aside and let rise 10 minutes. Brush crust lightly with olive oil and add toppings.
