Basic Pizza Dough Recipe

Ingredients:

* 2 packages dry yeast
* 1 1/2 cup lukewarm water
* 4 cups flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon sugar
* 1 tablespoon olive oil


Directions:

Dissolve yeast in water; set aside for 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Combine flour, salt, sugar and oil in bowl;
make a well in the center. When water/yeast mixture is
bubbly, pour into center of well. Start kneading dough,
bringing flour toward center of bowl; gradually increase
kneading motion.

If dough feels dry, add a little more water; if it feels
sticky, add more flour. Knead vigorously until dough is smooth
and elastic. Roll into ball; cover with a damp cloth. Let
rest for about 20 minutes in warm place. Beat dough with your
palm to expel gas formed while fermenting. Roll dough again
into ball; place in greased bowl. Baste with oil. Cover with
plastic wrap; store in refrigerator.

When ready to use, place dough on floured counter top or table.
Flatten with your hands, working from center out (a rolling
pin may do also). Push dough evenly onto greased cookie sheet
or pizza pan, forming a 12-inch circle with edges thicker
than middle. Apply favorite topping in desired amounts. Bake
in hot oven (475 to 500 degrees) until golden brown.
