Directions
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, and
let sit for 10 minutes.
Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of
the flour.
Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more
flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well
oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double;
this should take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and form a tight
ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out. Use for
your favorite pizza recipe.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). If you are baking the
dough on a pizza stone, you may place your toppings on the dough, and
bake immediately. If you are baking your pizza in a pan, lightly oil
the pan, and let the dough rise for 15 or 20 minutes before topping and
baking it.
Bake pizza in preheated oven, until the cheese and crust are golden
brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
