Homemade Basic Pizza Dough Recipe - How to make pizza dough from scratch

Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe
I wanted to post basic homemade pizza dough recipe with correct measures as I have been experimenting a lot making adjustments to the pizza dough recipe that I tried first.And nowadays I make the pizza dough / pizza base the previous night and refrigerate it...that makes it easy to put things together when I want to make pizza.The pizza base recipe that I always trust uses milk but I prefer skipping milk when I plan to refrigerate the dough so this recipe comes handy.Actually this pizza base recipe can be used to make buns,pizza,calzones,bread sticks etc.

Last month when I made Veg Pizza I clicked this pizza dough to post here but couldn't click the final pizza pictures as it got dark already but sure will post a grilled pizza soon.Here is a easy and no fail recipe for homemade pizza dough...I will be posting a grilled version of pizza soon.
