- In a large mixing bowl, or bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add sifted flour, salt, and yeast. Whisk together until well combined on low speed. Proof your yeast prior to ensure it is alive if unsure – see notes section above. Then remove whisk attachment, and add dough hook.
- 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.
