All-American Pizza Crust

Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry
salt, table
water, bottled, generic
oil, olive, salad or cooking

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F.
In a mixer bowl, combine 1 cup flour, yeast and salt; mix well.
Combine water and oil; heat to 120 - 130 F, add to flour mixture.
Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed.
By hand, gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough.
Knead on floured surface 3 - 5 minutes.
Divide dough into 2 parts.
With well-floured or greased fingers, press each half into greased 12 or 14-inch pizza pan.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of your favorite shredded cheese over dough to prevent a soggy crust.
Spread prepared pizza sauce on each pizza (approximately 3/4 cup of sauce per pizza).
Add your favorite toppings.
Cover with shredded cheese of your choice.
Bake at 400F for 25 - 30 minutes (see NOTE below) until edge is crisp and light golden brown and cheeses are melted.
Serve immediately.
Note: It may not take the full time.
In my oven, it was about 20 minutes.
