Pizza Dough

4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 pkg of yeast in 1 1/3 cups 85 degree water
2 tblsp olive oil
1 tsp salt


Dissolve yeast in water and then add salt and olive oil. Mix in flour, then knead for 10 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise about 2 hours. Have ready 2 oiled pizza pans. Sprinkle a little cornmeal over all. Pat and stretch the dough in the pans, pinching up a collar around the edge to hold the filling. Brush each crusts lightly with olive oil to prevent it from becoming soggy. Spread on a good pizza sauce and top with mozzarella cheese. Top with your favorite toppings. Bake in preheated oven 400 degrees for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
