This is my husband's favorite homemade pizza crust recipe.  I found it
on facebook a couple of years ago to try to get me to buy Pampered
Chef items.  Since our son, Denny, is still home until Wednesday
morning, thought we'd make pizza mon. night.  This has never made 6
crusts on my watch.  thought I'd share the recipe.

Olive Oil Pizza Dough From Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day
(makes about 6 pizzas)
3 1/4 cups lukewarm water
1 tablespoons granulated yeast
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
7 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
Mix the water, yeast, salt, and olive oil in a 5-quart, lidded
container (or bowl).
Mix the flour in, without kneading. Use a wooden spoon, a stand mixer, or a food
processor.
Cover, not airtight, and let sit at room temperature for about 2
hours, until the
dough rises and then flattens on top.
Store in the fridge, keep it covered, but not air tight, and use within 12 days.
On the day you are going to make pizza, bring the dough out of the
fridge. Dust the
surface of the dough with some flour and pull off a one pound chunk
(using a serrated
knife or kitchen shears), this is about grapefruit size. Put the rest
of the dough
back in the fridge to be used another day. Using floured hands quickly
shape into
a ball and then roll out, just like you roll any other pizza dough,
using flour when
needed to keep it from sticking. There is no need for it to rest, you
can proceed
directly with your pizza recipe! (Can put cornmeal on crust and then
flip it onto
a hot stone. It gives a nice texture.)
The dough gets better each day. Whatever is left at day 12 can be divided into a
pizza portion, shaped into a disk, wrapped in plastic and frozen in freezer bag.
When ready to use, let stand on counter about 2 hrs and shape into
your pizza crust.
Can also be thawed in refrigerator during the day.
