Homemade Pizza Dough

Mix
1.5 cups of warm water (100-110 degrees)
2 tsp dry active yeast
1/4 tsp sugar

Wait ten minutes for yeast to set.

While that is going, mix together in big bowl:

4 cups flour
pinch of salt
1/4 cup of olive oil

After the ten minutes is up pour the yeast/water mix in the big bowl.  Let dough hook beat it up for about 15-20 minutes.  You can tell its ready when it begins to cling to the hook and stays in one big glob.

Remove from mixer, cover and let stand for an hour (couple hours is fine).

Dough mass should more than double in size while it sits.  Now "punch" the dough a few times in the center to remove all the air.  Move the dough to somewhere that you can work on the dough.  Sprinkle flour and knead a few times.  This should make enough for about 4 pizzas.
