Ingredients
    1 cup water
    2 Tbsp vegetable oil
    1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
    1 tsp. sugar
    1 package active dry yeast
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1 1/2 to 2 cups all-purpose flour

    Cover and allow to rise in warm place until double in size (about 40 minutes.)
    Punch down and turn until a lightly floured board; divide in half.
    Roll each into a 13-inch circle.
    Place on 2 lightly greased 12-inch pizza pans.
    Fold edge over to form a ridge.
    Prick bottom with fork.
    Par-bake crusts in preheated 425\u00b0 oven for 10 minutes.
    Add filling and continue baking 20 minutes.
