1 Stir together warm water, yeast, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl; let sit for 10 minutes.
2 Stir oil and salt into yeast mixture. Mix in 2 1/2 cups flour until incorporated. Turn dough out onto a clean, floured surface. Knead dough, adding remaining flour, a little at a time, until dough is no longer sticky. Place dough into an oiled bowl.
3 Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4 Punch down dough and form it into a tight ball. Allow dough to relax for 1 minute before rolling out.
5 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
6 If baking dough on a pizza stone, place toppings on dough and bake immediately. If baking dough on a pan, lightly oil the pan and let dough rise for 15 to 20 minutes before topping and baking it.
7 Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
