To prepare the dough, you will typically combine the dry mix with warm water and a bit of oil in a bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead it on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic. Let the dough rest in a warm place until it has risen. Once risen, you can shape it into your desired pizza crust. Bake as you normally would for homemade pizza.
