How to Make Ange's Awesome Pizza Base

In a food processor, combine 500g strong bread flour, 1 tsp salt, and 7g active dry yeast.
With the food processor running, slowly add 300ml of warm tap water (around 105-115°F).
Once the dough forms a ball, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead the dough gently for a minute or two, then place it in a lightly oiled bowl.
Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until doubled in size. (Optional step - you can often proceed without this rise)
Once risen (or after waiting period if skipped), gently roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape for your pizzas.
