For some reason, I have a lot of difficulty making a good pizza dough. Basically it's bread, of course, but what else do you put in? Some put in salt, some olive oil, some nothing. This is a place holder until I get a good recipe.

On 20 December 2009 I heard from David Peters, who was really looking for weather station software, but he sent me this recipe, which I'll investigate some time:

quantity       ingredient       step
1 1/2 cups       of water (I use cold water)       1
2 tbl spoons       olive oil       1
2 teaspoons       salt       1
2 teaspoons       sugar       1
4 cups       all purpose flour       1
2 teaspoons       of yeast (this I had to experiment with to get right)       1
1 tablespoons       of minced garlic (depends on your taste buds)       1

Other seasonings depending on the type of pizza and once again your tastes. (eg basil, tarragon whatever). "Gourmet Garden" makes a number of squeeze out toothpaste tube type seasonings that work well here (coles, Woolworths etc have a good range of them).

The seasonings and the garlic can make quite a difference.

Measure them out and put into a mixer bowl or breadmaker in the order listed.

For a breadmaker:

Use the dough setting.

When finished making the dough remove, sit it on a lightly floured surface and cover with cling wrap or such like. Let it rise for 30 minutes before rolling and using.

Took me a while to find this one and fine tune it but it works well for me every time now. (Even for my korma pizzas!)
