Homemade Pizza Crust Recipe

4 cups flour
2 tbsp granulated dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp table salt
2 cups water (warmed to about 100 to 105 degrees F)

Place dry pizza crust ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl and combine by stirring.  Add your  warmed water and stir until all the dry ingredients are incorporated into a dough.  Cover this dough with a  towel or rag and let it rise in a semi warm place for about 30 minutes or so.  Next, flour a hard surface and  knead the dough about 8 to 10 times by hand.  Let the dough rise again in a covered bowl for about 20  minutes.  Turn it out onto your floured surface and press by hand into your desired shape (round or  square).  Place prepared dough onto an oiled baking sheet or pizza pan and top as desired.  Bake in a  400 degree oven until crust is crispy and brown.
