Homemade Pizza

1 (.25 oz) package active dry yeast
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 1/3 cups flour, divided

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water and let stand for 10 minutes.
2. Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour.
3. Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough in a bowl and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until doubled (about 1 hour). Punch down t he dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to rest for a minute before rolling out.
4. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil the pizza pan and let it rise for 15 to 20 minutes. Top with crushed tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, chopped fresh basil (or dry is fine too), shredded mozzerella cheese, Parmesan cheese and any other toppings as desired.
5. Bake pizza in the preheated oven until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Sometimes I bake the crust by itself for 10 minutes before adding the toppings so it gets crispier.
