Ingredients

1-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon each dried basil, oregano and marjoram, optional
1/3 cup vegetable or olive oil

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix warm water and add yeast and whisk until dissolved.
2. Let stand until bubbles form on surface.
3. In a large bowl, whisk 3 cups flour, salt, and if desired, dried herbs/spices (I personally add nothing).
4. Make a hole in center and then the add yeast mixture and oil.
   Stir until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
5. Turn onto a floured surface; knead, adding more flour to surface as needed until no longer sticky and dough is smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes.
6. Place in a large greased bowl; turn once to grease top.
7. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes; transfer bowl to refrigerator and chill overnight.
8. Allow dough to come to room temperature before rolling, about 30 minutes.
9. Add the pizza toppings
