1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, garlic powder, and baking powder. 
2. Stir in olive oil and milk. Continue stirring until dough ball forms.
3. On a clean, dry surface, spread the remaining 1-2 tablespoons flour to create a kneading surface. Make sure your hands have a light dusting of flour on them as well. 
4. Place the dough on the kneading surface and knead about 10 times, then shape it into a ball.
5. Place an inverted bowl over dough ball and let sit for at least 10 minutes.


When you are ready to make pizza, roll dough into a crust, top with your favorite toppings and bake at 450℉ for 15-18 minutes.
