Cooking Instructions
- Before you start, measure out all your ingredients.
- Sift the flour and salt into a clean bowl and make a well in the middle.
- In a jug, mix the yeast, sugar and olive oil into the water using a spoon and leave for a few minutes, then pour into the well.
- Gradually mix in the flour and swirl it into the liquid.
- Keep mixing, bringing more flour in, and when it all starts to stick together, mix in the rest of the flour with your hands.
- Make sure you wash your hands and dust them with flour first!
- Wipe off the counter and sprinkle a little flour onto it. Put the dough onto the counter and knead until it's smooth and springy – it should take about 10 minutes.
- Shape it into a ball.
- Rub a little oil into a large bowl and put the ball of dough into the bowl.
- Loosely cover the dough with clingfilm and place in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Sprinkle more flour onto the counter and knead the dough again briefly. Divide into 4 pieces.
- Roll out the dough into circles or rough rectangles, about ½ cm thick, and put onto on greased and floured baking trays.
- Use immediately or cover with clingfilm and chill until ready to use.
