Stir in 2 more cups of flour until it is too hard to stir, then take it to the floured board and knead in remaining flour. Continue to knead dough until smooth and firm. Place in an oiled bowl, and allow to rise in a warm spot, until doubled. Spread dough onto oiled pizza pan, allow to rise for 10 to 20 minutes. Smear on tomato sauce to the edges, with slightly less in the center. Cover with cheese, then add other toppings. Bake at 400° F until edges are brown and cheese at center is beginning to bubble.
