From Kris on the Sonlight Forums:
6 c. flour
2 1/2 pkg yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 c. warm water
1 TBSP cornmeal
1 egg white
1 TBSP water
In a large bowl, combine 2 c. flour, yeast, and salt. Add 2 c. warm water and beat until well mixed. Stir in as much remaining flour as possible. Knead 8-10 minutes by hand or 2-4 minutes with dough hook on mixer. Cover and let rise until doubled. Punch down and let rest 5 minutes.
Divide dough into 2 pieces and roll each piece into a large rectangle. Put favorite pizza toppings in the center and then fold long sides in to cover toppings. Pinch all seams together to seal.
Sprinkle 1 TBSP cornmeal on baking sheet and lay loaves on cornmeal. Cover and let rise 20 minutes. Beat egg white with 1 TBSP water and brush on top of loaves before baking.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes.

Chewy, Crispy Pizza Crust
2 2/3 cu warm water (about 105 degrees)
2 TBSP sugar
2 tsp salt
1/2 c instant nonfat milk
2 tsp instant yeast, or a packet of regular yeast
stir, rest and let the yeast bubble up
Stir in 2 TBSP oil. Add 2 tsp Italian herb seasoning if desired. Mix in 4 c flour, beating until smooth. Add 4 or more cups flour, gradually, until you get a workable dough. (Note: I rarely add more than 2 c flour at this step.) Knead for about 10 minutes by hand or 4 minutes with the dough hook on your mixer. Cover with a clean cloth and let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes. Punch down the dough, divide into 8 balls and roll out into crusts.
Prebake crusts at 450 degrees F for about 5-10 minutes, or until just starting to brown. The top should look dry.
At this point you can top your pizza with your favorite sauces and toppings, or cool and put in a ziplock baggy in the frig or freezer. Bake at 450 until the cheese is nice and melty and the crust is brown, about 10-15 minutes.
NOTE: This recipe is from the Sonlight Forums and was said to be "just like Pizza Hut" if you put 3 TBSP of oil in the bottom of a deep pizza pan, then add the dough and bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or until done. That gives the pizza the very oily, crispy finish like a Pizza Hut pizza. Since we don't like using that much oil, we prebake the crusts and use them as needed.
