In a mixing bowl, combine the warm tap water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Once the yeast is activated, add the vegetable oil and 2 cups of flour to the mixture. Stir until combined. Gradually add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Grease a clean bowl with oil and place the dough inside, turning it to coat. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Divide it into two equal portions for two pizzas. Roll out one portion on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a greased baking sheet or pizza stone dusted with cornmeal.
Spread 1 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by your chosen toppings. Finish with the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Brush the crust edges with melted butter and sprinkle with yellow cornmeal for a golden finish. Place your pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!
