In large mixer bowl, combine yeast, 1 cup flour and salt. Add warm water and oil; beat at low speed of electric mixer for 1/2 minute, scraping sides of bowl. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. By hand, stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Knead till smooth, 8 to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover and let rise till more than double, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down; cover and chill till cold, about 2 hours. Cut dough in half. On floured surface, roll each half to 12 inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Place in two greased 12 inch pizza pans; crimp edges. Brush each with an additional 1 tablespoon cooking oil. Makes 2 pizza crusts.
