Here's a really simple pizza dough recipe, which when done properly (because lets face it, dough can be a bitch, what with the yeast and the temperature.. fussy.) turns out light and fluffy.
I've found this recipe enough to make 1 large thick base and 1 mediumish size thin (Because I like thin and crispy anyway.)
2 cups plain flour
1x7g packet of dried yeast
1 teaspoon caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup warm water
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Add the oil and water, mix with your hand and knead lightly in the bowl until it's all mixed through and is soft and pliable. Form the dough into a ball type shape, cover with gladwrap and leave someplace warm for half an hour, until risen to double in size, or almost at least.
-30 minutes later-
Lightly punch once then tip out onto a floured bench. Using flour dusted hands, knead gently and roll out into pizza-base-type-shapes.

I guess the toppings are entirely up to you, but I'll share what we usually have.
Plain tomato paste for the base, or in some odd cases, Frosty likes Spaghetti sauce on his.
For a normal Frosty pizza, the toppings are as follows: Sauce, cheese, shredded ham, tin of pineapple, roast chicken and some more cheese. Oh and chili. Lots and lots of chili.
Mine: Sauce, cheese, chili, tomatoes, onion, salami, roast chicken.
