Notes

Add when baking: 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 cup warm water. Toppings (for one pizza): 1 cup tomato sauce, 1/2 cup grated mozzarella, 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan, 1 teaspoon crushed oregano.
Put the mix in a large bowl, add oil and water, and beat until a ball forms. Knead on a floured surface 5 minutes. Rise in a greased bowl 90 minutes. Divide in half; shape each into a 12-inch circle. Thin crust: top right away. Thicker crust: rise another 30 to 45 minutes first. Bake at 425°F for 20 to 25 minutes.
Storage: dry mix up to 6 months airtight in a cool, dry place. Pizza refrigerated within 2 hours, 3 to 4 days; slices frozen about 1 to 2 months. Unbaked dough can be frozen after the first rise up to 1 month; thaw overnight in fridge.
