Combine yeast, salt and 3 c flour in mixer bowl. Heat water olive oil and sugar in small saucepan, over medium heat until very warm (125F-130F). At low speed, beat into dry ingredients just until blended. Increase speed to medium; beat 2 minutes.
Add 1 c flour; beat 2 minutes more. With wooden spoon, gradually stir in 3 cups flour to make a soft dough.

(Can be made ahead. Cool completely. Wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze up to 3 months. Unwrap crust and bake on cookie sheet in preheated 450F oven 5 minutes.) Prepare your choice of the following recipes; bake 10 minutes more.
