Mix the flour ,Wheat Germ, salt & sugar into a large bowl and make a well in the center. Add the oil in the middle. Meanwhile, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. When it gets foamy and ready to use, add it also the well and mix all the ingredients together and knead thoroughly (like for bread) until the dough is smooth and satiny and does not stick to hands. Spread oil lightly on top of dough and cover with a light towel and let rise in a warm place, away from drafts, for about 2 hours or less if it rises quickly. Then punch the dough down and let rise again for about 45 min. Divide the dough in half and spread in two cookie sheets (with sides) which have been greased with crisco, not oil. Work from the denter of each pan to the outer edges. Put a little crisco on your hands when spreading. (they now have crisco with no trans fats).
