Pizza Dough

So after all the requests at the reunion for the recipes used, here they are. I'll start with the pizza dough. (Sorry, no pictures) You could also use this recipe for breadsticks.

1 Tbsp active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
2 tsp white sugar
2-4 cups flour
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt

In your mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
Add olive oil, salt, and flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a stiff dough has formed. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Form dough into a round ball, cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cover dough with flour, then shape to fit your pizza pan. Place on pan, cover with sauce and your favorite toppings and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
