Directions

- Knead the dough for about 3-4 minutes in the bowl, until it has a nice, smooth texture.
- Cover it with a damp kitchen towel and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
- Now get your pizza toppings ready.
- Oil pizza pan and dust with a little cornmeal.
- Once the toppings are ready, divide the dough in half and shape it into a circle on your prepared pizza pan.
