Ingredients:

1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Pizza Dough Flavor, optional
2 teaspoons instant yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cups lukewarm water

Directions:
Step 1
Mix and knead together all of the dough ingredients — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — adding enough water to make a very soft, smooth dough. Allow the dough to rise, covered, for 1 hour. Use immediately; or refrigerate for up to 24 hours to develop the crust's flavor.

Step 2
Use olive oil to lightly coat the bottom and edges of a half-sheet pan (18" x 13").
Remove the dough from the refrigerator, transfer it to the pan, and use your hands to gradually stretch it out towards the edges. When the dough starts to shrink back, let it relax, uncovered, for about 10 to 15 minutes, then stretch it again. You'll want the dough to fill the pan, so repeat the relax-stretch process two or three times until it does.
Let the dough rise for 1 to 2 hours, until it's noticeably puffy. The longer it's been refrigerated, the longer it's likely to take to rise.

Step 3
Towards the end of the dough's rising time, preheat the oven to 450°F.
Bake the untopped pizza crust for 10 to 12 minutes, until it's barely beginning to brown. (If storing for later, wrap with plastic wrap once cooled & freeze). Top pizza with sauce & return to the oven for about 10-15 minutes. Add cheeses & toppings and bake another 5-10 minutes.
