1 cup warm Water          2 tsp. Salt

1 T. Yeast                      2 T. Oil

1 T. Sugar                      2 ¾ to 3 ¼ cups Flour

Put warm water in large mixing bowl, then sprinkle yeast over water and stir to dissolve.  Wait 5 to 10 minutes (or until yeast is foaming).  Stir in sugar, salt, oil, and 1 cup of flour.  Mix until smooth.  Gradually add remaining flour to make a stiff dough.  Knead until smooth.  Let rise for ½ hour, then roll out to desired size and place on greased cookie sheet.  Bake crust only for 5 minutes at 375.  Cover pizza with desired toppings and bake until browned (about 15 to 20 minutes).
