50 pound bag of high-gluten flour
softball sized piece of shortening, broken into small pieces,
about -->| |<---- that much salt (No clue what the actual volume is; I can eyeball the correct amount in any container.)
Mix for 15 minutes.

While mixing, fill one big bucket a few inches full of quite warm water; not too hot. Add 4 oz yeast. Dissolve yeast. Fill bucket with warm swimming pool temperature water. Add water to flour/salt/shortening mixture. Mix 10 minutes. Add about 12 oz oil. Mix 5 or 6 more minutes. Allow to rise for 45 minutes. Cut into 1 pound loaves (for large round pizzas) or 2 pound loaves for party-tray sized pizzas. Form a nice ball for round pizzas, or a rectangular patty for trays. Allow to rise 30 more minutes. Refrigerate or stretch to pizza size.

I've made so much pizza dough this way, I could make it in my sleep.

For some reason I don't like that stuff. You have to cook it (on a stone) for several minutes, then take it out and put toppings on it, then put it back in. Otherwise, the dough won't cook fully.

I prefer to make my own dough from scratch (usually bread machine on dough cycle). The dough cooks the same time as the toppings--about 8 minutes.
