  • Add the table salt and the vegetable oil and process until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. It takes about a minute. Pour the dough out and knead it for about 1 minute or until the dough is smooth.

  • Preheat your oven to 500 degrees for at least one hour. I put the rack as close to the top of the oven as I can and still have room to get the pizza in and out. Slide the pizza onto a pizza stone or a cookie sheet that has been flipped over.
