Basic Pizza Dough 
	
	
	1 cup         warm water
	1 package     active dry yeast
	2 1/2 to 3    cups all-purpose flour
	2 tablespoons olive oil
	1/2 teaspoon  salt
	
	
	
	Combine the water, yeast, and 1 1/2 cups of the flour in a large
	bowl. Mix well. Add the oil, salt, and remaining flour. With large
	wooden spoon or your hands mix the ingredients together until
	the dough holds its shape. You may need a bit less flour, so add
	the last half gradually.
	
	Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth
	and elastic, about 5 minutes. If the dough becomes sticky, sprinkle
	a bit more flour over it.
	
	Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled 2-quart bowl. Cover the
	bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let the dough rest
	until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
	
	When the dough has risen, place it on a lightly floured surface,
	divide it into two or more parts and roll them into balls. Cover
	them with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes. The dough is ready
	to be shaped, topped and cooked.
