Preparation
Step 1
Pour water into bowl and all sugar, stir until dissolved. Sprinkle yeast over top and do not stir. Let stand for 10 minutes until foamy. Measure 1 1/2 C flour into large bowl. Form a well. When yeast is ready stir oil and salt into it. Pour into the well and stir to form a soft ball. Turn the dough onto counter and knead until the remaining 1 C of flour is mixed into it well. About 7 minutes. If making 12 inch pizzas cut into 2 pieces and roll into a ball. If making 6 inch pieces cut into 4 pieces. Dough can now be wrapped and frozen. If using immediately cover with a piece of greased wax paper and damp cloth until doubled in size - about 1 hour. Roll into you preferred size of crust.
