 In large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let stand for 5 minutes.  Add oil and salt.  Stir in flour, a cup at a time, to form soft dough.  Turn onto floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 2-3 minutes.  Place in greased bowl, tuning once to grease top.  Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
   
Meanwhile, brown beef and onion; drain.  Punch dough down; divide in half.  Press each into a greased 12 inch pizza pan.  Combine the tomato sauce, oregano and basil; spread over each crust.  Top with beef mixture, green pepper and cheese. 

Bake at 4 degrees for 25-3 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
