Pizza Method
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until thoroughly combined and set aside.
Combine the water and oil in a separate jug or cup.
Slowly add the water mixture to the flour mixture holding back a little in case you don\'t need it all.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands mix until the dough should be soft but not sticky. Add a splash more water if your dough is too dry.
Lightly flour your work area and a rolling pin then roll dough into a 12-inch circle using your hands (to make 2 smaller pizzas divide the dough into 2 and roll into two 8 inch pizzas).
Transfer the pizza base to a nonstick pizza base or large baking tray.
Spread Pizza Sauce with a spoon over the pizza base.
Cover generously with a layer of cheese and your choice of veg or non veg toppings.
Bake the pizza for 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden brown. Slice and enjoy. Serve hot.
