Ingredients * 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast * 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar * 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) * 1 teaspoon salt * 2 tablespoons olive oil * 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, let stand for 10 minutes.

Add 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 add more flour until the dough is not that sticky anymore. Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and place a cloth as cover. Allow the dough to rise until it doubles; this should take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, forming a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out. This becomes a good crust for your favorite pizza recipe.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). If you are making use of a pan for baking, allow the dough to rise first for 15-20 minutes before putting toppings. Bake pizza in preheated oven, until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
