Nurodymai

In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the lukewarm water, oil, salt, sugar, and yeast.

Add the flour and the Pizza Dough Flavor. Mix the ingredients together (with your hands, a mixer, or a bread machine set on the dough cycle), adding more water as necessary to make a soft dough. Knead for about 7 to 10 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl or other container, cover, and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours, whatever fits your schedule.

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased surface and gently deflate the dough. To make pizzas with a medium-thick crust, divide it into four pieces; or three pieces, for thicker crusts. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a 12" round. (Let the dough rest several times to relax it and make it more cooperative.) Alternatively, hand-stretch the dough to size if you prefer a more artisan look to your crust, with random air pockets scattered throughout.

Once shaped, transfer each round to a piece of parchment; trim any excess around the edges to avoid burning. Place the parchment onto a pizza pan or baking sheet; if you're going to bake the pizza on a stone or steel, there’s no need to place the parchment on a pan.

Preheat the oven to 450°F; if you have a stone or steel, place it on the center rack so it can preheat with the oven. While it's heating, prepare your toppings: Some possibilities include slicing pepperoni; sautéing mushrooms, onions, or peppers; cooking meats; or grating cheese.

When ready to bake, brush each crust with a bit of olive oil; spread sauce lightly over the surface, and add toppings as desired. Sprinkle the top with grated cheese.

Transfer the pizza to the oven, one at a time, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until it's golden brown, the toppings are hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melted. Remove the pizza from the oven.

Immediately transfer pizzas to a cooling rack, so the bottom doesn't get soggy. Repeat the baking process with the remaining pizzas until all are cooked. Serve the pizza after about 10 minutes, while it’s still hot but the toppings have had a chance to set. Scissors are a great cutting tool!

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days.
