YUM ITALIAN PIZZA BASE
This is it- the perfect base! You can easily make this in the breadmaker on dough setting (just thow it in, water on the bottom, then flour then yeast). I usually make 4 bases from this dough, if you want it extremely thin you can and make 5 bases.

Steps:
- Make sure that the room where the dough will be prepared is warm. In the winter, a temperature of about 22ºC and in the summer time, where the temperature in the house could be higher, reduce the quantity of yeast.
- As a first step, activate the yeast. Take 150 ml of warm water and put it into a jug. Add the granulated yeast and the sugar and give a stir. Cover the jug with a cloth and wait for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the flour into a large bowl and sprinkle with sea salt. Stir so to evenly distribute the salt within the flour.
- After 15 minutes, you should have a frothy layer inside the jug. Give another stir.
- tart gently stirring the flour and at the same time pour the contents of the jug into the bowl.
- Add the remaining 150 ml of warm water into the bowl and keep stirring so that all the flour is wet.
- Add the extra virgin olive oil. Give a good stir so that all the ingredients are well mixed together.
- Pour the bowl contents onto the working surface and start to work the dough energetically. Press, extend forward and roll backwards for 10 minutes. The dough should become smooth and elastic and you should have the feeling that it is sweating.
- Coat the dough ball with flour and prepare it for the rising.
- For the rising, you can either put the dough ball into a large bowl or leaving the dough ball onto the working surface. In both cases spread some flour onto the bottom where you will lay the ball dough, so that it will not stick. Then, cover the ball dough with a cloth and leave it in a warm room for a couple of hours or until it doubles in size.
- Spread some flour onto the working surface. Take the risen dough and work it again for a couple of minutes. Then, divide the dough in five parts and make a small ball of each part.
- Take the rolling pin and start rolling so that you can make a large circle, to suit a 30 cm diameter pizza tray.
- The pizza base should be very thin; a couple of millimetres thick.
- Spread some flour onto the pizza tray and then lay the pizza base onto the tray. Top with pizza toppings as you like.
- Set the oven at the maximum temperature (usually 240ºC - gas mark 9) and pre-heat it properly. If the oven is at the right temperature and your pizza is thin, it should take about 8-10 minutes to cook. Fan assisted ovens may require a different cooking time. After 5 minutes cooking, checking the pizza frequently is a good idea and when the border starts to become golden brown, it is probably the right time to take the pizza out of the oven.

Steps:
- Find a deep and wide mixing bowl, [Try not to do it on a flat surface such as counter top as it takes more time and can be quite messy. I usually use a wok as i have one:)] Add in the flour.
- Add in yeast and just mix it lightly with the flour.
- Add in water. To be on the safe side, do not add all, always leave a little in the cup and add more if necessary. Mix the mixture with hand until you knead it to a dough that does not stick to your hand.
- Add the olive oil at this stage. You may substitute this with butter or margarine. It's to give the dough its nice golden brown colour when baked. Knead it for a minute.
- Add the salt. It should be 1 flat teaspoon not heap. Knead it for 2 to 5 minutes.
- You may also add ingredients at this stage such as rosemary, basil, cajun spice, etc and made it your unique pizza base.
- Divide and roll to your desired thickness and size. Dust the working surface well with flour. Cover the unused portion to avoid drying out. [If you want to save the dough, divide and roll it tight as a ball, the wrap it with clear plastic film. Keep it in the freezer. I keep them for maximum 2 weeks. Before using it, let it thaw for 30min to an hour, It might get a bit sticky as it has all those water condension. Add a bit of flour and roll your dough.]
- Preheat the oven to 250 degree celcius.
- Add your favourite ingredients and put in the oven to bake at 220 degree celcius for 10 minutes.

IMO'S PIZZA RECIPE (ST. LOUIS STYLE PIZZA)
If you've had it, you know its crispy and amazing.he definitive characteristics of St. Louis-style pizza are a super-thin yeast-less crust, the common (but not mandatory) use of Provel processed cheese, and pizzas cut into squares or rectangles instead of large pie shaped slices. The crust is too thin to be folded like a NY style slice so little party pieces werer made. Provel is a trademark for three cheeses fused to form one (provolone, swiss, and white cheddar), used instead of (or, rarely, in addition to) the mozzarella or provolone common to other styles of pizza. (wikipedia.com) George's pizza off of 95th St. in Overland Park, KS is my favorite pizza joint hands down. They do a similar style to this.

Steps:
- Crust: Mix until thoroughly combined - Dough will be very stiff. makes enough for two (2) 12" pizza pies. The dough is ready to use "as-is" No need to rise or kneed. Divide the dough in half, shape into a round ball and roll out paper thin.
- In order to move the crusts around a pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal works well.
- After the crust, it's the sauce that begins the first real steps towards forming the total Imo's pizza experience. Imos uses a tomato sauce mixture that has a sweet taste, but it's not so overly sweet to hide the rich tomato flavor or spices.
- Sauce:Combine together and it's ready to use - do not pre-cook the sauce! This Makes enough sauce for about four (4) 12" pizza pies, so that should give you some idea of how much to use on each pizza.
- On top of the sweet sauce Imo's uses Provel Cheese, which is simply a blend of Cheddar, Swiss and Provolone cheeses with some liquid smoke flavoring. If you can't find Provel in your local market, it can be easily created.
- Cheese:Toss until cheeses and smoke flavoring are completely incorporated. Typically it's enough cheese for two (2) 12" pizza pies, but if you like extra-cheese you'll want to make more.
- Authentic Imo's pizza toppings include: Extra-Cheese, Onion, Green Pepper, Sausage, Hamburger, Pepperoni, Anchovy, Bacon, Black Olive, Mushroom, Canadian Bacon, Jalapenos, Pineapple, Banana Peppers, and Tomatoes.
- In a professional pizza oven the meat toppings (Hamburger, Sausage, Bacon, etc.) can usually be put on raw, but at home you'll want to fully precook the meat before assembling the pizza.
- Now you have the correct style crust, sweet sauce, smoky cheese, generous toppings, it's now ready to be lightly sprinkled with some Italian seasonings.
- Seasonings: Combine all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and blend well.
- While in the restaurant the pizza is baked in a pizza pan, at home you'll have the best results using a pizza stone and an oven temperature around 450 degrees. If you don't have a pizza stone, use the thinnest baking sheet you have and the lowest over rack position. The pizza is done when the underside of the crust is a dark golden brown, and the cheese is has a slight golden tint to it. Underbaking the crust will result in a limp crust, overbaking will result in a hard, tough, burnt-tasting crust, getting the right baking time to produce a crisp crust will require a bit of experimentation. The amount and type of toppings you use will also affect the total baking time. A rule-of-thumb is to check the pizza after about 10-12 minutes and adjust baking time from there accordingly.
- And, as a final touch to truly replicate Imo's Pizza at home, is to cut the pizza into tile-like squares instead of the traditional triangle slices.

EASY AND AWESOME PIZZA BASE RECIPE
BEST PREPARED THE DAY BEFORE COOKING!!! I'll explain in the instructions. A few years ago I was living in a loveless "Agrestic" style town (google Agrestic if you aren't sure what I mean) where there was one pizza place and it was awful. It was akin to one of those international pizza chains but had a gourmet sounding name so they charged a shed load more. Being from Melbourne I grew up with good food, especially good pizza so I sought to remedy the situation myself. I'll let you decide how to top it though I might suggest using caramelised red onion & capsicum, quality salami, feta cheese, kalamata olives and a Napoli sauce on the base. Whatever you use, just remember to use the freshest available ingredients and never skimp on quality.

Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water and leave for 5 minutes.
- While waiting, sift the flour into your mixing bowl. Add the salt & oil.
- Once a foam has formed on the yeasty water pour it in and start mixing. Add more water as required (varies depending on climate, humidity etc.) until the dough feels like a young woman's breast. I was taught this by a baker many years ago and while it sounds rude, it really is the easiest way to describe how a good dough should feel. Now clean your mixing bowl.
- This next part, while not vital, does make a noticeable difference. Rub oil around the surface of the dough, put it in your clean mixing bowl and stick it in the fridge. Leave it there for as long as possible (24 hours is best but 6 hours is ok). If you don't have time for the fridge don't stress - just skip it and move on.
- If you used the fridge you will have noticed your dough rose, albeit slowly. Take your dough out of the fridge and let it rise some more.
- Once risen pound the crap out of it to flatten it again but don't knead it too much. Cut your dough into 3 or 4 balls, roll them flat, fold them up and roll them again. This creates air pockets which expand giving your base the authentic 5 star Italian wood-fired look and feel in the comfort of your own home. If the dough begins to feel tough while you're working it, let it rest for 5 minutes. It's just the gluten tightening up and resting it relaxes it.
- Top your bases and cook for 10 minutes or so. If you make thicker bases it often pays to partly cook the base for 5 min then top and bake again.
- Enjoy!

- Combine the first 4 dry ingredients. Combine water and oil, then add to the dry ingredients. I use my Kitchen Aid mixer to mix then use the dough hook to knead for about 5 minutes. You can mix by hand then knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Grease a bowl and put ball of dough in it. Toss it around to coat. Cover the bowl and let rise 20 minutes. I use the same mixer bowl so I don't dirty another dish. In a rush, I sometimes skip this rise. The dough will still be good, just not as thick.
- Grease a 12" or 16" pizza pan and spread dough out with your hands on the pan. Don't use a rolling pin. Top pizza (see notes) and let rise for 15 more minutes. I've also skipped this rise with success.
