This makes 3 large pizzas. If you don't want to cook that many at once, then put the extra dough in the freezer for later use. (put dough into a gallon ziploc bag and freeze for another time.)
3 1/2 c. hot water (I run my tap as hot as it can get)
1/4 c. sugar
1 T. salt
2 T. yeast
7-9 cups flour (I always use 9)
Mix water, sugar, salt and 4 cups of flour (I mix it for a bit on speed 2 of my mixer-using the dough hook). Then add the yeast and the rest of the flour. Knead on speed 2 for 9 minutes.
Heat oven to 500 degrees.
Grease counter top/cutting board and cut into 3 equal parts. Grease pizza pan (I recommend pans that have holes/ventilation on the bottom - these are available at regular stores) and sprinkle with cornmeal (I get cornmeal by grinding popcorn kernels in my wheat grinder - make sure your grinder can handle this before you do it! i.e. read the manual! :)
Stretch dough with hands and press into the pan. Cover with sauce and favorite toppings. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in hot oven.
