Instructions
Combine 2 cups flour
salt
and yeast in a large bowl. Stir in very warm water and oil until combined
then stir in just enough of remaining 1/2 cup flour to make a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic
4 to 6 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
To Use:
This dough will fit any of the following pan sizes: 10x15-inch pan
9x13-inch pan
14-inch round pizza pan
or two 9-inch deep-dish pizza pans. For individual pizzas
shape dough into six to eight 7-inch-diameter rounds.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil your selected pan(s) and sprinkle with cornmeal. Shape dough into a smooth ball
then divide (if necessary) and roll to fit pan(s). Top pizza as desired. Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted
20 to 30 minutes; baking time will depend on the size and thickness of the crust and the amount of toppings.

Garlic and Herb Pizza Dough: Add 2 teaspoons sweet basil
oregano
or rosemary and 1 clove minced garlic in Step 1.
