Basic Pizza Dough

1 packet active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour, divided

Dissolve yeast in warm water (105° to 115°F); stir in oil and salt. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed for 1 minute, scraping the sides of the bowl often. Continue beating for another 3 minutes at high speed. Fold in 2½ cups flour. Dust a work surface with flour and knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes.

Grease a bowl and top of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.

Coat pizza pan with a dab of oil or cornmeal to prevent crust from sticking. Punch down and spread dough into pizza pan.

Add toppings and bake according to pizza recipe directions
