The Best Pizza Dough & Sauce

2 1/2 cups warm water (100 degree)
2 tbs sugar
2 tbs yeast
4-5 cup flour
1 tsp salt

Mix the yeast and sugar with the water and let set until bubbly (about 5 minutes). Add 4 cups flour plus salt, beat well with mixer 2-3 minutes. Add enough flour to make it soft dough. Let it rise in mixing bowl about 1 hour. When it's done rising preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour onto well floured surface and knead into soft smooth dough. Divide into 3 lumps and stretch each lump to fit pizza pan. (If you like thicker crust make two lumps). If you are using a pizza stone put it in the oven for 10 minutes before laying the dough on it. For any pan make sure it's well greased and sprinkle with corn meal. Then lay the dough on the pan and top with the sauce and any desirable toppings. (Note: vegetables are best being sauteed before putting them on the pizza).
