Mix to a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover and set aside to prove for 1 hour (dough will double in size).

notes

• For a cheesy pizza dough that the kids will love, add ¼ cup finely grated parmesan to dough. Calories will increase.
