Pizza Dough

Makes 2 rounds

1 T. yeast
1 C. warm water
1 T. olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
3 C. flour

Sprinkle yeast over 1/2 C. warmwater. Let stand 5 min. In large bowl, combine remaining 1/2 C. water, oil, & salt. Stir in yeast mixture. Add flour, 1 C. at a time, beating after each addition. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface, knead about 5 minutes. Let rest about 20-30 minutes. Cut dough in half; work with each piece to stretch it out until dough is fairly thin; put on peel that has a little corn meal sprinkled on it (so it doesn't stick); add toppings and put on pizza stone in very hot oven (550) for about 5 minutes.You can also bake it in a metal or glass baking/pizza pan. The trick is to bake it in a hot oven.
