Basic Pizza Dough Recipe

Pizza is everyone's fav..But the key to good pizza is a good dough .A well kneaded soft dough results in perfect pizza.You can either blind bake the pizza first or yo could bake the pizza with the toppngs .I prefer baking the base first.Like if i'm making pizza for dinners I start preparing the dough and bake the base and keep it ready .I also keep my pizza sauce ready so i have less work in the evening I just assemble the pizza and bake it till the cheese melts.Saves a lot of time.You could freeze the dough too but I always prefer using fresh dough.If freezinng dough you just need to remove it out from the fridge and let it rise for an hour and then bake.
I have included some stepwise pics for ease of understanding the process.
