Easy Pizza Dough

1 pkg active dry yeast
1 cup warm water & 2 T sugar
1/2 t salt
2 t olive oil
2 1/2-3 1/2 cups flour

Sprinkle yeast over warm water to which sugar has been added. Let stand 5 minutes. Add salt, olive oil, and 2 1/2 cups flour. Mix in for 2 minutes. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cups at a time, until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl. Knead for 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning to cover top. Cover; let rise in warm place for 1 hour. Punch down. Shape and top. Bake 450 for 15-20 minutes.

**I use 1 cup wheat flour and 1 cup white flour and then add more white flour until dough cleans the sides of the bowl.

Besides the normal toppings (like red peppers and green olives....mmmm!!) I like to top with pesto, mozzarella, tomatoes and basil
