OK, here ya go.

My daughter goes to school with a lad whose Mum is Italian. At his birthday party she, Patricia, made pizza for the kids. My daughter said it was the best pizza EVER! So, I got her recipe. And here it is (for the base).

300 grammes flour. She use 'oo' flour which she gets from Italy. I can't get it but strong bread-making flour seems to work OK.
1 teaspoon salt
15 grammes packet of dried yeast. She uses fresh yeast but dried works fine.
60 ml olive oil
150 ml warm water
2 x tablespoons runny honey

Mix the yeast with the warm water and honey. Leave somewhere warm. In about 10 - 15 mins it will be very frothy.

Mix the flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in 45 ml of the olive oil, make a well and add the water/yeast and keep mixing to form a soft dough. Dust a board with flour, slap on the dough and knead for 5 minutes - no slacking - put the timer on! Put the remaining olve oil in a large bowl then put the dough in the bowl, turning it to give it an all-over coating of oil. Cover with a damp teatowel and leave to rise for 1 - 2 hours. It should double in size.

Meanwhile make your topping. When ready, punch down the dough and roll out into the desired shapes. I make rectangular pizzas and roll the dough to less than quarter of an inch thick.
