1/2 ts Salt
1 c Flour
1/2 ts Sugar

In a large bowl mix yeast and 1 cup of flour, then mix in water,oil, salt and sugar. Add 2 to 2-1/4 cups of flour or enough to make a soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning dough to grease all over. Cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until dough doubles in size. Punch down and divide dough in half.
Preheat oven to 425 F. Grease pizza pans and roll out dough on lightly floured surface into a 12" circle. Place on pan. Let rise for 10 minutes. Put on topping and bake according to recipe directions.
OPTION: For a crustier bottom, precook dough slightly (about 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned). Then put on topping and cook another ten minutes until cheese is golden brown.
TO FREEZE DOUGH: Spread dough onto pans, cover with plastic wrap and freeze. Once frozen, put in plastic freezer bag. Keeps well for one month. Thaw in refrigerator.
