"If you are a thin crust lover, then this is not for you, this recipe produces a thick, tender delicious crust. This is wonderful just brushed with olive oil then sprinkled with some kosher salt, garlic powder and the bit of shredded mozzeralla cheese on top and served warm just out of the oven with a plate of pasta, sooooo good! This recipe can be made either by hand or on your heavy-duty stand mixer, since there is a fair amount of dough to work with I stronly suggest to make this your stand mixer. For quicker rising increase the yeast to 1 tablespoon. Amounts stated will yield 3 medium pizza crusts"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a bowl dissolve the dry yeast in 1/4 cup warm water (105 F is a perfect temperature) with 1 teaspoon sugar; let sit for 5-7 minutes, or until foamy (if yeast does not foam discard and start again). After proofing yeast add remaining 2 1/4 cups water with remaining ingredients (start with 4 1/2 cups of flour and adding in more if needed). Knead dough until smooth and elastic (about 10-12 minutes)
Step 2
Oil a large bowl Place dough in bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 34-40 minutes.
Step 3
Divide dough into 3 parts, and place in 3 olive oil-coated pizza pie pans; dimple dough with fingers. Allow the dough to rise in pans for about 45-50 minutes.
Step 4
After rising lightly sprinkle tops of dough with kosher salt and your choice of dried herbs (use as much as you like). Bake bottom rack in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 25 minutes. The baked crusts can be frozen and reheated at a later time.
