RECIPE QUICK CHEESE AND TOMATO PIZZA (makes 2 medium pizzas)

Add the oil, increase speed till a dough ball forms, then stop. Now run for 20 seconds, and rest for 2 minutes. Do this twice more, then let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into 2 balls, and stretch or roll each ball to fit a lightly oiled baking tray. Top with the pizza sauce. Use the coarse grater to grate the mozzarella cheese.
