Mom's Pizza Dough

Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Gradually add flour, cup by cup, until a soft dough is formed. Dough should not be sticky, so add more flour if necessary, tablespoon by tablespoon.

Knead the dough and place in a greased bowl covered by wax paper.

Place bowl into a warm area to rise for 2 to 3 hours.

(To make dough rise more quickly, 3/4 hour, place the bowl of dough into another bowl of very warm water.)

When fully risen, knead and divide dough into 3 equal parts and stretch onto 3 greased pizza pans.

Put pizza sauce on the pizza, then bake at 400° until crust is golden, then put cheese and toppings on pizza.

Bake again until cheese melts.
