Homemade Pizza Dough

2 3/4 - 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water (120-130 degrees)
2 tablespoons cooking oil

In large bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of the flour, yeast,and salt. Add warm water and oil. Beat with an electric mixer on low speen for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6-8 minutes total). Divide dough in half. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Roll out, add toppings and bake as directed in individual recipes.
