Basic Pizza Base

1. Combine all the ingredients except the olive oil in a bowl and knead into soft dough using enough water until it is smooth and elastic. Add the olive oil and knead again.
2. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth and allow it to prove till it doubles in volume (approx. 15 to 20 minutes). Press the dough lightly to remove the air. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts.
3. Roll each portion into a circle of 250 mm. (10") diameter and 6 mm. (1/4") thickness. Use as required.
