Basic Bread and Pizza Dough

Add olive oil and most of the warm water, and mix into a rough dough — depending on the day/flour, add remaining water, the dough will be a little sticky

Flour the work surface and knead until a nice smooth texture (5-10 minutes)

Cover the bowl with a tea towel and place it in a warm place to rise — once the dough is double size, light and fluffy, it is ready to knock back to its original size

Dough can be shaped into one loaf, 3 pizza bases or small rolls.

Allow bases to sit whilst preparing toppings, about 1/2 an hour

Place in a hot oven 220 degrees C and cook until desired crispness — 15 - 20 minutes.
