Pizza dough
This is a fantastic, reliable, everyday pizza dough, which can also be used to make bread. It's best made with Italian Tipo '00' flour, which is finer ground than normal flour, and it will give your dough an incredible super-smooth texture. Look for it in Italian delis and good supermarkets. If using white bread flour instead, make sure it's a strong one that's high in gluten, as this will transform into a lovely, elastic dough, which is what you want. Mix in some semolina flour for a bit of colour and flavour if you like.
