Pizza

Step 1: You will need

• 180 g plain white flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp dried yeast
• 1/2 tsp caster sugar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 120 ml warm water
• polenta for dusting

• 2 bowls
• 1 spoon
• some cling film
• 1 rolling pin
• 1 measuring jug
• 1 sieve
• 1 circular baking tray

Step 2: Sieve the flour

Place the sieve over a bowl, add the flour and gently shake it through.

Step 3: Make the dough

In the medium bowl, combine the salt, yeast and caster sugar. Make a hole in the centre, add the olive oil and warm water and mix in well. Give it a quick, final mix by hand to create a rough paste.

Step 4: Knead the dough

Remove the dough from the bowl and place onto the chopping board. Knead the dough for roughly 3-4 minutes, using the heel of your hand. Keep kneading until it has formed a smooth ball.

Step 5: Leave dough to rise

Transfer the dough into a large clean bowl, cover with some cling film, and leave it to rise for approximately two hours or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6: Roll the dough

Uncover the bowl and sprinkle the dough with flour. Remove it from the bowl and place onto a flat surface. Sprinkle some more flour over the dough and roll it into a circle. Dust with flour again, turn it over and roll the other side.
