Pizza Supreme Crust

Thin Crust:
1 cup warm water (105° to 115°)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 package dry yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
Combine water, oil, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast over water mixture, stirring until dissolved. Gradually add flour, mixing well after each addition.
Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball, and place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled.
Punch dough down, and divide in half. Lightly grease hands, and pat dough evenly into 2 lightly greased 12 inch pizza pans. Yield: two 12 inch pizza crusts.
