Mom's Pizza Dough

2 cups warm water
1 tbsp. active dry yeast
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
5-6 cups flour

Put 2 cups warm water (as warm as comes from tap), sugar, salt and 2 1/2 cups flour in mixing bowl. Mix well. Add yeast. Mix well. Add the rest of the flour a little at a time until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl. Knead for 8 minutes. Roll onto a pan which has been sprayed iwth Pam and sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover with sauce and toppings of choice. Bake at 350 to 375 for approximately 20 minutes.

By the way, I (Jessica) have made this beforehand and stuck it in a ziplock bag in the fridge, then used it a few days later and it worked beautifully.

Also, this was actually a French Bread recipe, so if you want to make that instead of pizza dough, then let it raise once until double in bulk, punch it down, shape it for your French bread, and let it raise again until double in bulk before baking. Enjoy!
