o First mix the ingredients with a fork until they are blended into a smooth dough.
o Then knead the dough with your hands for 8-10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.
o If the dough is too dry, add a little more water; if it is too sticky, add a little more flour. - Raising the dough:
o Grease a large bowl lightly with olive oil and place the dough in it.
o Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it
has doubled in size. - Shaping the pizza:
