Here's a rough recipe:

1 cup warm water
1 Tbsp (or one packet) yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp olive oil

-Dissolve yeast and sugar into water (I whip it up good with a whisk). Let stand maybe 10 mins, until foamy.

-Gradually mix in flour. Add olive oil and salt at some point as you go.

-Kneed the dough for a minute or so. Don't over-work the dough or it'll get too tough. It should be soft and a little sticky.

-Roll out the dough into desired shape and thickness. I use a rolling pin, but if you're talented enough maybe you could spin it on your finger and throw it in the air. I'm not that daring.

-Add stuff to it, then bake 'til done. I'll bake at 400F for a pizza or 350F for something filled like stromboli/calzone,etc.

It takes maybe 20 minutes, counting the 10 minutes for waiting on yeast.
