Pizza Dough

Ingredients 2 1/2 cups  warm water 1/4 cup  sugar 3 teaspoons  instant yeast 1/4 cup  vegetable oil 6 cups  all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons  salt I will sometimes add basil, parsley, and garlic powder to to the dough for extra flavor Instructions In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the water, sugar and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes until frothy. Add in the vegetable oil. In a bowl, combine the flour and the salt. Add the flour to the yeast mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well between additions. Continue adding the flour until the dough can be pulled away from the sides of the bowl with a spatula, but the dough will still be quite sticky. You may need to add in a little bit more or less flour, but the key is to remember that the dough will still be sticky and will stick to your fingers when you try to pull it apart. Grease a large bowl, then scrape the dough into the bowl. Turn the dough to coat it in oil. Cover the bowl ...
