Ingredients

3 tablespoons yeast
3 cups hot water (95-100 degrees)
3 tablespoons oil
9 cups flour
3 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons oregano
1 tablespoon garlic salt


Directions

In a Bosch bread mixer, or large bowl, mix yeast, water and oil. Wait 5 minutes for the yeast to activate (turn frothy on top). In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, oregano and garlic salt. Stir the wet and dry ingredients together and add small amounts of water if dough feels dry. Mix or knead for 8-10 minutes. Dough should be elastic.

You can to freeze dough at this point. Just break into 3 pieces and place in a larger freezer ziptop bag. Label "Pizza dough" and freeze for up to 6 months. To use, defrost in the microwave on high 20 seconds. Then roll out for pizza, stromboli or calzones. Yields 3 pizzas or 2 strombolis.
