Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before creating your bases.

Divide the dough into number of pizza bases required ie, 2 medium pizza bases or approximately 4 smaller pizzas. Knead each piece into a smooth ball.
Tear off a piece of quality baking paper and place your dough round into the centre of the paper. Press down gently with your hands into a round shape. Place another sheet of baking paper over the top of the dough and use a rolling pin to roll out to approximately 7 mm / .3 " thick. Remove the top sheet of baking paper. Use your hands to create a smooth edge.
Cook the bases for approximately 8 minutes, or until slightly brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven. You can create pizzas straight away or pizza bases can be cooled and stored in the fridge or freezer for later use.

Flip your base so it's upside down. Top your pizza base with the pizza sauce if desired and your favorite toppings.
Return to the oven at 200 C/ 390 F and cook for another 5-6 minutes or until your pizza has cooked and cheese has melted.
