Best Pizza Crust Ever (can also be made into bread/rolls)

I'm back! After three moves this summer I am finally settled and will once again be consistent with fun tips, trivia, ideas, recipes, and whatever else I feel like putting on here. Today I will post the best pizza dough recipe. It is amazing. Thanks to my mother-in-law for passing it on to me.

Combine the following ingredients and let sit for 5 minutes:
2 tablespoons yeast
2 1/3 cup warm water
1/3 cup sugar

Mix together the following ingredients, and then pour the yeast mixture into it and mix again:
4 cups flour
1/3 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons powdered milk (the secret ingredient)

Add in an additional 2 cups of flour (or more) and knead/mix until the mixture is the right consistency.

Roll the dough and put into the pizza pan or pizza stone. Let rise for 15 minutes.
Add toppings and cook 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees.

To make bread, just put the dough in a bread pan and let rise 15 minutes. Then cook for 28 minutes at 350 degrees. You can make rolls by putting dough in muffin tin (you will want to adjust the cooking time depending on how big your rolls are. They will probably take about 15 mintues).
