Easiest Pizza Dough Ever

Pizza dough from scratch is harder than you might think. I've been trying to come up with a decent one, but to no avail, until I stumbled across this website (thanks to stumble upon) and got this awesome recipe. It's quick, it's easy, practically makes itself.

3-4
servings
time to make 40 min 30 min prep
3 cups flour
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fast rising yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Throw all ingredients into a bowl and mix together with a food processor (using dough hooks) or by hand.
2. The dough will be fairly sticky but don't add any more flour.
3. Instead scrape it into an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth and leave to rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size. I like to let my dough rise in an ever-so-slightly warmed oven or in an airing cupboard.
4. When dough is finished rising, pre-heat oven to 400 F degrees.
5. Turn onto a floured surface and work in a bit more flour until the dough loses its stickiness -- you shouldn't need too much -- then roll out to desired size, keeping the dough about 1/2 inch thick.
6. Leave to rise for about 10 minutes, before topping with your favourite ingredients.
7. Put on a baking sheet sprinkled with flour or cornmeal and bake for 10-15 minutes in a very hot oven until lightly browned. Our standard is 230-240 C in a fan oven for 10 minutes on a top shelf.
