Nana's Pizza Dough

(taken from the Cuisinart food processor recipe booklet, but recipe works in any food processor!)

1 package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/3 cups warm water
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons oil
3 tablespoons cornmeal for pan
vegetable oil for pan

Stir yeast and sugar into warm water and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.  Insert metal blade, put flour and salt in work bowl and turn on machine.  Pour yeast mixture through feed tube and process about 45 seconds, until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.  Add oil through feed tube and process 60 seconds longer. 
If dough sticks to sides of bowl, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, processing for 10 seconds after each addition, until dough leaves sides of bowl but remains soft.

Roll dough onto oiled surface.  Bake at 425 for 2 minutes. Remove and add toppings.  Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
