Min's Perfect Pizza Dough
Enough for two twelve-inch pizzas

Ingredients:
one and one-third cups warm water
two teaspoons active dried yeast
three tablespoons olive oil
three and a half cups flour, sifted

Steps:
1)Mix everything except the flour together.
2)Sift the flour in a mixing bowl. Make a hole in the center.
3)Pour the mixture from 1 into the hole.
4)Mix everything together with a spoon. Use your hands to knead the batter into a dough that is smooth.
5)Cover the dough with a damp cloth. Leave it to rise for about one hour.
6)Divide the dough into two. Put them in separate bowls and let them rise for another twenty minutes.
7)Spread a thin layer of olive oil on a pizza pan or any other pan that is about twelve inches in diameter. Using your fingertips, flatten the dough on the pan. Top the pizza according to your taste and bake it for about twenty minutes in a temperature of one hundred and eighty degrees.

Tips and suggestions:
-Some toppings would be canned button mushrooms, pineapple cubes, ham, broccoli or capsicum.
-Instead of kneading with your hands your can use a food processor.
-Before flattening your dough on the pan, dip your fingers in olive oil. This makes it easier to handle the dough.
