Pizza Dough

3 c. warm water
1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons yeast
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons salt
6 1/2 cups flour
1 cup corn meal

Combine water and yeast in mixing bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes. Add oil and sugar, stir and let sit for one more minute. Add salt and stir. Add flour one cup at a time. Save final 1/2 cup if needed. Mix in mixer or by hand until dough no longer sticks to sides of the bowl. Add flour if needed. Knead dough for 5 minutes. Rise 1 hour or until doubled in size. Roll dough on counter top and transfer to pan/stone. Continue rolling out to the edges. For best results, keep center of dough thinner than edges. Prick dough with fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Top with toppings and continue baking for 5-10 minutes depending on thickness of dough and desired doneness.
