In a mixer with a dough attachment, or using your hands in a bowl, combine the salt, garlic, basil and olive oil, then gradually add the flour and knead for 3-5 minutes until a smooth dough forms. |

Coat your hands with a bit of olive oil, form the dough into a ball and - well, everyone says you should put it in another bowl, but I've found that coating the ball with a bit of oil from your hands works perfectly fine - so just put it back in the mixing bowl, cover and let rise for an hour. |

Instead of using flour, use corn flour to lightly coat your working surface and rolling pin. Roll out the dough. I use a pizza stone, and I also like a pizza baking sheet with the holes in it - both are good. Place the rolled out pizza dough onto your preference. (With the pizza stone, need to preheat it for a good 15 min.!) With a fork, put holes in the pizza dough to keep it from bubbling. |

Add your toppings then bake for 12-15 minutes in your preheated until the toppings are golden brown. |

Pizza Topping SuggestionsThe classic is definitely pepperoni and cheese! Try a combo of fresh mozzarella and cheddar! |
