I have used this recipe from The Way to Cook by Julia Child.  It is a very
good crust.
Whisk the yeast ingredients in a measure and let bubble up 5 minutes or so
to proof.  Measure the dry ingredients into the bowl of a food processor.
Blend the 3/4 cup of milk into the ready yeast mixture.  Turn on the
machine and process in the yeast, then the oil, and droplets more milk, if
needed, just until the dough masses on the blade of the processor. The
dough will be very soft. Let it rest 5 minutes, and it will develop enough
body to be processed 2 seconds more in the machine. Then turn it out onto
your lightly floured work surface. Knead 50 strokes by hand, give a 2
minute rest, and knead 20 strokes more to make a soft, smooth dough. Let
the dough rise in a covered bowl until doubled in bulk. Turn it out onto
your work surface, and it is ready to cut and form as your recipe directs.
*Ahead of time note: If you are not ready to bake, punch the dough down and
set the covered bowl in a cooler place, where it will keep safely for an
hour or more.  You can chill or even freeze it, but then it must be brought
to room temperature and start to rise again before you form and bake it.
Bake at 425 degrees F.
This is a wonderful crust.  I do not have an equally wonderful recipe for
the sauce.  I have not made my own sauce, I use commercial canned pizza
sauces.
