- 1 cup of all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- glug of olive oil
- 1/2 cup lukewarm water
Instructions:
1. Put the dry ingredient in a bowl.
2. Add a 'glug' of olive oil (my guess for that measurement would be 1/2 tsp-ish)
3. Stir with a spoon and add little by little the 1/2 cup of water.
4. After the dough starts to come together it is easier to use your hands to form it into a ball.
** If there is still an excess of flour in the bowl after the 1/2 cup of water, slowly add a little more water. The dough should feel moist, but not too sticky. If you add too much water, just sprinkle in a little more flour.
5. Roll out dough to desired shape/size. With this recipe I always roll out the dough so it is a thin crust.
** It is a good idea to sprinkle surface and rolling pin with a little flour so the dough does not stick.
6. Preheat the oven to 400. ** If your oven takes a long time to heat up, do this before making the dough.
7. Top dough with desired topping and bake for 20 minutes.
Favourite tomato sauce topping: some plain tomato sauce, sprinkle with dried basil, thyme, and chopped garlic.

Variations that I've made:
1. Simple: tomato sauce (with dried basil, thyme and garlic), cheddar cheese. For a plain pizza, this was delicious.
2. Sausage # 1: tomato sauce (with dried basil, thyme and garlic), cooked spicy italian sausage, broccoli, mozzarella cheese. (Maybe also some fried onions, I can't remember).
3. Sausage #2: tomato sauce (with dried basil, thyme and garlic), cooked spicy italian sausage, feta, arugula and spinach.
4. Bacon, mushroom, spinach: tomato sauce (with dried basil, thyme and garlic), cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, friend mushrooms and garlic spinach.
5. BBQ Chicken & Bacon Pizza: tomato sauce (with garlic, splash of red wine vinegar, salt and pepper), cooked chicken mixed in BBQ sauce, cooked bacon, leeks, cheddar cheese, extra BBQ Sauce.

As you can see, I like to make pizza a lot. This is really easy and takes only about 30 minutes!
