Method
Dough
- Mix flour, salt and sugar. Add lukewarm water and oil; knead 8–10 minutes until elastic. Cover and rise until doubled (about 1–2 hours).
Shape and bake
- Heat the oven as high as it will go (ideally 250°C / 230°C fan) with a tray or stone inside for 30 minutes.
- Divide dough into 2–4 balls; rest 10 minutes. Stretch each into a thin base on floured surface (do not use a rolling pin if you can stretch by hand).
- Top lightly; bake on the hot tray 8–12 minutes until the crust is golden and toppings bubble.
Serving
Top as desired and bake very hot until the base is crisp and blistered.
Storage
Refrigerate dough up to 24 hours or freeze balls. Bring to room temperature before stretching.
