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 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 favourite topping in
desired mounts. Bake in hot oven (475 to 500 degrees) until golden brown.
