Mom's Pizza Crust

I've always had great luck with pizza dough using this recipe!

1 pkg active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water (between 110 and 120 degrees - I use a candy thermometer)
3 1/2 -4 c. flour
1/2 tsp salt

Add yeast to water and stir until lumps are gone. Add dry ingredients. Knead on floured board or countertop for about 5-10 minutes or until dough is elastic and smooth. Let rise about 30 minutes. Makes 2 pizza crusts. I usually make one pizza crust and make rolled breadsticks with the rest of the dough. Add toppings to pizza and bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. Bake breadsticks for about 12 minutes or until just golden brown.
