Deep Dish Dough

1 cup warm water, 105°f to 115°f
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 packet active dry yeast
2 cups flour

Combine warm water, oil and yeast; fold in flour and mix thoroughly. Roll into a ball; place in an oiled bowl and let rise in refrigerator overnight.

Bring to room temperature before putting it in the pizza pan. Coat a deep-dish pizza pan with oil or cooking spray. Spread dough evenly around bottom and sides of pan. Cover with a cloth and let rise for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 450°F. Remove cloth and cover dough with preferred pizza toppings. Bake until crust is brown on the edges, 30 to 40 minutes.

Cut into wedges and serve at once.
