Pizza Dough

i have had great success with this recipe of pizza dough, everyone likes it, and it can be manipulated into a thick or thin crust.

Pizza Dough
Makes 4 or 5 extra large pizza

5 cups all purpose flour
2 cups semolina flour, or whole wheat flour, or bread flour, or just use 7 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon Sea salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon of active yeast, I use bakers yeast from Britain, (red, white and blue package) bulk foods
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 1/4 or 2 1/2 cups warm water ( hotter than body temp but not burning hot ~100 degrees) depending on the humidity in your kitchen, see note *

Into a large bowl, measure all of the dry ingredients, including the yeast, whisk all together, very well, then mix the oil and water into the dry ingredients. Use the handle end of a wooden spoon to mix the dough initially, when it starts to come together, but still a little ragged, dump out onto the counter, cover with the bowl and let rest for 10 minutes. Once the dough has had time to rest start kneading by pushing the dough away with the heel of your hands, fold over, pulling it towards you, then push away again with the heel of your hands, turn over, continue to knead until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky, if it is a little sticky, just flour your hands, and the counter a little, until the dough is smooth, about 8-10 minutes.
*The temperature and the humidity in your kitchen will affect the way the dough is, you may need a little more flour on the humid days and a little less on the dry days. I always use all but 1/2 cup of the flour, adding the rest in as needed, the same with the water in the recipe, use less on humid days and more on dry days.
At this point, you clean the mixing bowl, oil it with a little olive oil, then put the pizza dough in, cover with plastic wrap, set in a warm place until it has doubled in size. Punch the dough down, this releases the air bubbles and makes the dough ready to form into whatever shape you are making. Cut the big ball of dough into 4 equal pieces for extra large pans or 5 pieces for smaller pans.
Use you favorite pizza sauce and cheese, then add your favorite toppings. The pizza is always better if your pizza dough is at room temperature, when shaping it, the sauce is warm, add the Parmesan or Romano cheese next, then your favorite toppings, ending with another layer of cheese. Let the pizza sit for at least 20 minutes to rise again before baking it
Heat the oven to 425 degrees F, for about 30 minutes before baking your pizza, the oven needs to be hot, so don't be tempted to open the oven door while your pizza is in there.Pizza needs to bake at least 20-25 minutes, check after 20 minutes, turn the pan if necessary, enjoy!
