Here are the three basic pizza dough styles. They use the same dough. The
variations are intended to accommodate the current trend to different
styles and thicknesses of pizza crust. Note: these are basic recipes and
are intended to used as the basis for personalizing. (See also "Regular
Crust Pizza Dough" and "Thick Crust or Pan Pizza Dough" recipes.)

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Dissolve the yeast in the warm (105
degrees115 degrees) water. Combine the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the
yeast mixture and the olive oil. Mix thoroughly. Turn the dough out onto
a well floured board. Knead until smooth (about 10 minutes). Place in a
greased bowl and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour). Punch the dough
down. Roll out to a thickness of 2". Place in an oiled deep dish Pizza Pan
(any reasonably deep sided (3 1/2" or more) ovenproof round pan 14" or so
in diameter), pushing the dough up and above (over) the sides. Brush
generously with olive oil. Add the sauce(s), seasoning(s) and topping(s),
up to (but not onto) the dough on the sides of the pan. Bake until the
cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden. Serve hot.
