False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. - Cesare Beccaria, as quoted by Thomas Jefferson's Commonplace book

1 oz (15g) fresh yeast
2 TB extra virgin olive oil
1 TB Salt
Pizza sauce (pureed tomato)

Add yeast to water, stir vigorously until dissolved

Place flour in a pile on wooden or marble surface

Make a well in the middle of the flour then add the water mixture, olive oil and salt

With a fork gradually mix the flour from the wall of the well into the water mixture

Once combined, use scraper/shovel to mix and then discard remnants

Knead for about 10 minutes, cut into even sized pieces

Form balls (into a mushroom-like shape) and leave for 2 hours covered with a damp towel

Take each ball and make into a circular shape by flattening it out and then placing edge of hand on side of dough and pulling it out with other hand. Rotate to stretch into even circle.

Sprinkle flour or cornmeal under dough. Spread sauce (5 spoons). Sprinkle with oregano and chili flakes.
