Pizza Base

I love to cook. Some times it doesn't go to plan but it does most the time. The thing I hate about cooking is needing to wash up the mixing bowl and the spoon and everything else. Here I'm making pizza for dinner and I wanted to make my own pizza base for it so a found a recipe that my sister Elise had used before and of I went to make it.
Yeast dissolving and making foam

I was so surprised at how quick it was to make. You just add this and add that a Ta-Da. I added the yeast and water together and and then I kneaded to let it dissolve and foam for ten minutes. Then I added the salt and 1/3 of the flour and mix mix mix mix and then another 1/3 of the flour then I shaped it in a ball and then I needed to knead for around 10 minutes. After that I let it rise for 45 minutes.

After I let it rise, I needed to punch it in the middle to release all the air. Then I rolled it out, put the topping on, and put it in the oven for 10 to 20 minutes and it was ready to eat.
