My Very Favorite Pizza Dough

I found this recipe in an old church cookbook and have been using it for years now. even though i have tried quite a few other pizza crust recipes, i always end up coming back to this one.

Steps

Mix yeast and sugar and dissolve in warm water.
Let stand for about 5 minutes.
Add in salt , oil and oat bran , if desired.
Mix in 4 1 / 2 cups of flour.
Then continue to add additional flour and knead until dough is smooth and elastic.
Place into a greased bowl , turning once , cover and allow to rise until dough is doubled in bulk.
Prepare 2 large pizza pans by coating them with cooking spray and sprinkling lightly with cornmeal.
Punch down and roll dough to fit 2 large pizza pans.
Top as desired.
For a crust that is crispy on the bottom , place pizza on the bottom rack in a cold oven , set the oven for 500 and bake for about 20 minutes or if the oven is already hot , bake at 500 for 10-15 minutes.
