Pizza dough

4 1/4 cups of flour plus extra for counter
2/1/4 tsp of instant or rapid rise yeast
1tsp. of salt
2TBS of oil
1 3/4 cups of warm water

mix 4 cups of flour in mixer, activate yeast with some of the water ( use about a cup of the warm water and I add a 1 tsp. of sugar to activate it), add salt and yeast to flour, add oil and rest of the water. Mix for 2-5 minutes or until dough looks right ( it should cling more onto the dough hook). turn the dough out onto floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes. form onto pizza pan and let rise for 1 1/2hrs. bake at 400 for about 25 minutes or until it crust is golden and topping look done.
