|
Step 4
|
| Turn the mixture out onto a floured work surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic |
|

| Oil a bowl with the olive oil then shape the dough into a ball and put into the dish. Cover with cling film or a damp tea towel. Place into a warm area and leave to rise for 1 hour or until almost doubled in size. If you're making the dough up to 24 hours in advance, place the covered bowl instead in the fridge |

| To make the pizza base; turn the dough out onto a floured surface, flatten the dough with the palm of your hand, then roll out to approximately half a centimetre in thickness. Oil a baking sheet and put the flattened dough onto it pushing out to around 40 cm diameter circle making sure the edges are thicker than the centre |
