  I haven't made this, but I do have a recipe in a cookbook.  Here it
  is:

                       Homemade Pizza Crust

  Soften 1 package active dry yeast in 1 cup warm water.  Beat in 1 and
  1/2  cups all-purpose flour; mix in 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1
  teaspoon salt.  Stir in 2 cups additional all-purpose flour.  Knead
  till smooth and elastic, about 12 minutes (will be firm).  Place in
  lightly oiled mixing bowl; turn oiled side up.  Cover.  Let rise in
  warm place till more than double, 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours.  Punch down,
  cover and chill till cold.
   Cut dough in 2 parts.  On lightly floured surface, roll each in
   12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.  Place on greased baking sheets
   or two 12-inch pizza pans, turning edges of dough up slightly.  With
   knuckles, dent dough here and there to prevent bubbles from forming.
  Brush each circle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.  Fill with desired
  filling.  Bake in hot oven (425) for 20 to 25 minutes, or till crust
  is done.  Makes two 12-inch pizzas.
