Basic Pasta Dough

This is a basic pasta dough recipe. The first time I made it I was amazed at how simple it was.

Simple Pizza Dough

Herb and Garlic Pizza

One yummy use for this dough. Topped with minced oregano, garlic, basil and coriander, a little olive oil, and some sea salt.

This simple pizza dough is really easy and makes a lovely crispy pizza base. Last time I made it it was used in a simple herb pizza just topped with a fresh herb oil and rock salt, and also in some spinach and mushroom calzone. I need more practice with the calzone so I might put that recipe up when it is perfected.
