How to make pizza:

Points to remember

Preheat oven and a baking sheet to 220C/fan 200C.
Mix strong bread flour, salt and fast-action yeast together in a large bowl. Quickly stir in lukewarm water and olive oil and bring together to a rough dough.
Tip out the mixture onto a lightly floured worksurface and knead for 5 mins until you have a smooth, springy dough.
Roll out into a thin round (you may have to stretch it with your hands a little) and place on a floured baking sheet.
Add your favourite toppings (such as tomato passata, mozzarella, vegetables or cured meats), place the floured sheet on top of the preheated sheet and bake for 10-15 mins, until the pizza is golden and crispy.

The dough doesn't need to be left to rise as the base should be be very thin. If you do want to leave your dough to rise, place it into a large oiled bowl, covered with oiled clingfilm. When you are ready to make the pizza, punch the dough down to knock out any air that's accumulated.
