3. Knead the dough with the help of dry flour for 8 to 10 minutes on  kitchen counter.Knead the dough by stretch and fold method.This type of kneading will help in getting soft and airy pizza base.
4. Take a bowl.Grease it with olive oil.Place the dough in it and  cover it with dry towel. Keep it in warm area for two hours.Dough will double in size.
5. After two hours punch the dough  so as to remove air bubbles.Knead for five minutes and place it back in bowl.Cover it with towel and keep it again for second rising for half an hour.
6. After half an hour Pizza dough is ready to roll.Cut the dough in small pieces with the help of a knife and use a rolling pin to flatten it.Pizza base is thin in centre and little thicker at edges.Poke fork at various places of the rolled base so as to avoid it from rising or inflating during baking.
7. Dust the baking tray with flour.Place the rolled base on baking tray with the help of pizza lifter.
8.
