Preheat the oven to 425ºF or 200ºC and Prepare a liquid ingredient mix. Take a bowl and mix water and oil together. Keep aside.
1 tablespoon oil, 1 cup water
Take another bowl and mix salt, baking powder and flour together. Roughly mix them.
a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2 cups all purpose flour
Pour the liquid mix into the flour mix. Stir until no more dry flour remains. If you are unable to form a dough or there is still dry flour in the bowl, add a small amount of water (1 Tbsp at a time) until the dough comes together.
Now, sprinkle some dry flour and knead the dough for a minute or two until the dough is mixed properly. Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes. (this will help to relax the gluten)
Stretch or roll the dough out into your desired shape.
Prepare your baking pan with either parchment paper or a good dusting of regular flour.
Place the dough on a pan. Top the pizza with your favourite sauce and toppings. I made pesto potato pizza with this pizza crust.
Bake the pizza at 425ºF or 200ºC for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly browned on top.
Slice and serve immediately.

Notes
Olive oil is a great choice for this recipe however you can use peanut oil, sunflower oil or canola oil instead.
Do not skip the liquid mixing step. Oil and water should be mixed properly for this recipe to get the proper texture.
Do not over knead the dough. This recipe requires a gentle knead and stretch method.
