Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

1 1/2 cup

sliced black olives (optional)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water

* Step 2

Beat in 1 cup of the flour

* Step 3

Combine the rest of the flour with the oil, salt, herbs, and olives, then add to the bowl. Mix until you have a dough that is elastic, but easy to handle. Add a little more flour or water if necessary. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl.

* Step 4

Cover the bowl with cling film. Allow to prove for at least 2 hours at room temperature, or until the dough has doubled in size

* Step 5

* Step 6

Flick the dough so that it begins to drop, almost to it a original size. Remove from bowl and place on your oiled work surface. Knead then form into a long brick shape

* Step 7

Divide into as many equal-sized pieces as you like according to the size of pizza you want

* Step 8

Form into equal size balls and allow to prove again for at least 30 mins

* Step 9

Cut and divide into smaller balls if necessary. Then take any dough balls you aren't ready to use, wrap in cling film then freeze

* Step 10

Shape with a rolling pin first, then your hands. Make sure the middle is thinner by working outwards with your fingers. Transfer to a baking tray or pizza stone.

* Step 11

Add your favourite toppings and herbs while on the tray

* Step 12

Cook at 220°C/gas mark 7 (425°F) on the bottom shelf of the oven, for approximately 15-25 minutes (rotating the tray halfway through) or until the crust is golden brown
