Steps:
- Combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Stir very warm water and olive oil into flour mixture. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Cover; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes. Shape dough into smooth ball. Divide and roll dough to desired size. Top as desired. For a Pan Pizza: Let the dough rise for 20 to 40 minutes then bake 10 min at 400F. Add toppings and bake another 10 to 20 minutes. For a Thin-Crust Pizza: Add toppings to unrisen dough; OR, for a crispier crust, bake the unrisen dough for 10 minutes at 400F.
