Pizza dough

In a small bowl, mix water and 1tsp. Sugar. Add yeast; whisk until dissolved. Let stand until bubbles form on surface. In a large bowl, whisk 3 cups flour, salt, and remaining 1tsp sugar and, if desired, dried herbs. Make a well in center; add the yeast mixture and oil. Stir until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead, adding flour to surface as needed, until dough is no longer sticky and is smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a large greased bowl; turn once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes; transfer bowl to refrigerator and chill overnight. Allow dough to come to room temperature before rolling, about 30 minutes.
