Pizza Dough
Ingredients:

1 envelope Flieschmann’s Active Dry Yeast
1 cup warm water
2-1/2 to 3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar (my addition)

Directions:

Soften yeast in warm water, in a mixing bowl. Add 2 cups flour, salt, sugar, and oil. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth, about 4 to 6 minutes.
Place in greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 to 45 minutes. Punch dough down. Pat dough into a greased large pizza pan. (Make sure you use a large pan unless you want very thick dough!) Top with desired toppings. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes.
