Pizza from Italy

There is absolutely no reason why you should be ordering in pizza.  It's easy to make pizza and your own tastes a lot better and you can put on your own topping combinations to suit your palate.  So no excuses.  From now on you can make your own.  Pizza parties are good fun.  You can prepare the bases beforehand and your guests choose their own toppings.
This is a thin crust pizza.
Crust
3/4 cup lukewarm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt

You can add Italian herbs into the dough
Preheat the over to about 270 degrees Celsius.  In a mixing bowl add all the dry ingredients with the exception of the yeast.  Add the yeast to the lukewarm water.  Make a well in the centre of the flour and slowly pour in the yeast/water mixture, combining everything together.  Add in the olive oil.  Knead until it it not sticky and forms a ball.  Let your dough rest for about 10-20 minutes.  You can wrap it up in clingfilm and keep it in the fridge until you need to use it.  I've kept mine in the fridge for up to a week before using it.  Decide on the size of the pizzas you are making, and divide the dough up into balls.  This recipe make two large pizzas or 4 medium pizzas or 12 mini pizzas.  I pre-bake the bases for a couple of minutes until they are firm.  This stops the bases from getting soggy if you load them with toppings.  Brushing the pre-baked bases with olive oil before putting on the topping also stops them from getting soggy.
Toppings
This is entirely up to you.  I cheat and buy tomato-based pasta sauce and spoon that onto the base.  I add in some finely chopped garlic.  Then I sprinkle on a combination of grated cheddar and grated mozzarella cheese so that the tomato pasta sauce is covered.  Sprinkle on a little black pepper and Italian herb mix.  Add on the other toppings of your choice.
Pop it into the oven and bake until the cheese melts.
