    Pizza base

    320g strong white bread flour,
    1x5ml yeast
    1x5ml salt
    2x5 ml sugar.
    250ml Luke warm water( if you want really crusty replace 15 ml water with milk)
    Around 20 ml sunflower oil 

    Make sure room is warm.
    Mix dry ingredients. Add oil . Mix until it resembles bread crumbs. If not add a bit more oil.
    Add water a bit by bit and make dough 
    Put on a floured board . Knead vigorously for 5 minutes. Really get that yeast working 

    Grease and Cover the dough . Put in warm place until it has doubled in size.
    You can make your sauce and toppings and grease/warm pizza stone . And the oven.
    Now you need to knead it again. This time 3 minutes will do. Divide the dough into 2 or 3. Stretch it well and roll in shape . You need to knock the air out here . Place on your greases pizza trays and cover. Allow for this to rise . Add a few drops of oil on the top to save the crust from drying out
    Takes half hour in my hot house.
    Half bake in the oven.180 degrees for around 15 minutes.
    Turn out on cool rack.
    At this stage you can freeze them.
    Turn upside down so you are putting the toppings on the smooth side and the bottom of pizza will be crusty.

    Enjoy!
