  • Place dough ball on a clean and lightly floured surface, knead until a smooth dough ball forms, which bounces back quickly when poked. Then, place dough in a large mixing bowl, and drizzle with approx. 1 tbsp olive oil, ensuring surface is fully covered. Cover with dish towel or shower cap, placing in a warm area for an hour or until dough has doubled in size.
  • While dough proofs, prepare the toppings. After an hour, or when dough has doubled in size, remove from bowl and stretch to desired size.

  • Place in oven and bake for 20 - 30 minutes or until edges are lightly golden, middle baked through and cheese melted. Remove from oven, slice, serve and enjoy!
