good flour and fresh yeast are key. make sure the yeast is not out of date

5 cups bread flour
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 TB sugar
1 tsp salt
1 TB olive oil
1 pk fleischmans yeast

mix water, yeast and oil and let it sit until it gets foamy, mix dry ingredients real good and then add water and mix thoroughly and form into a ball. put a damp, warm rag over the bowl. heat oven for 1 minute at 400 degrees and then turn it off and put dough bowl in oven for a few hours to rise. when risen, fold dough into a ball and cut in half and form two balls and let it rise again. this makes pretty good dough but its just about impossible to make a good pizza in a regular oven. i use one of these on my weber kettle:
