Great-Gram Grosso's Pizza Crust

Combine 1/2 cup warm water, yeast, and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add water, oil, and yeast mixture; mix well.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until dough forms a solid lump, about 5 minutes. Place in a large greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Divide dough in half and spread out onto 2 pizza pans, making two 16-inch pizzas.
