Method
In mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour and yeast. Combine warm water, oil, salt, and sugar. Add to yeast; mix for 1/2 minute. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. By hand stir in enough flour to make a moderately-stiff dough. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise 45 minutes. Punch down and divide into 12 pieces. Shape into balls; cover. Let rest for 10 minutes. Roll into 5-inch rounds. Roll out from center, not back and forth. Cover and let rise 20 to 30 minutes. Put 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
