Basic Pizza Dough

• 1 1/2 cups strong white flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried yeast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2/3 cup hand-hot water
• 1 teaspoon oregano

1. Sift together the flour and salt into a large bowl and stir in the dried yeast and oregano.
2. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture.
3. Add the olive oil and gradually add enough of the warm water to make a soft dough. The amount of water will vary according to the flour but the dough must be malleable.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic - about 10 minutes.
5. Place dough back in clean lightly oiled bowl and turn it around to coat it with some of the oil; cover with cling wrap and leave in a warm place to "prove".
6. After the dough has doubled in size (approx 60 minutes), knock it back and knead again for about 3 minutes.
7. Shape and top as desired.
