Quick Pizza Dough

A quick pizza dough recipe that we first had at Lucas & Emily's. Now we use it often.
Use the standing mixer with the dough hook attachment. You can, also, use a large bowl and mix by hand, with a wooden spoon.
Try adding fresh herbs for a little extra flavor.
This makes one thick crust pizza or 2 thin crusts.

1 1/2 packages Dry Yeast (3 1/3 tsp)
1 1/2 tsp Sugar or Honey
1 1/2 cups Warm Water
3 3/4 cups Flour
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 1/2 tsp Salt

Preheat Oven to 450
1. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm warm. Let stand 10 minutes.
2. Stir in flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth
3. Let rest 5 minutes
4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a pizza sized round. Transfer to a pizza pan or a baking sheet that has been lightly dusted with cornmeal. Add desired toppings
5. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool 5 minuted before cutting
