Pizza Crust

This is the pizza crust I use, it makes a yummy, soft, thick crust.

1 Tbs. yeast
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 cups. warm water
3 Tbs. oil, divided
1/2 tsp. salt
4 1/3 cups flour
In a bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Add 2 Tbs. oil, salt, and enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. (I don't know if this is the right thing to do, but after the dough is all combined I just mix it in my kitchen aid for about 6 more minutes - it turns out just the same) Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Divide in half. Press dough onto the bottom and 1" up the sides of 2 greased 14" pizza pans (or however you want to do it). Spread with 3/4 cup of your sauce over each pizza. Bake at 450 degrees for 5 minutes. Pull it out and add whatever toppings you desire and cook for 10-15 minutes more..enjoy!
