Method
- 1In a bowl, mix the yeast with the warm water, then mix in the 150g flour. Cover and leave somewhere warm for at least 30 minutes until the yeast froths.
- 2When the mixture has expanded, add the remaining ingredients and knead for 10–15 minutes — by hand or in a mixer with a dough hook. Wet and sticky dough is fine.
- 3Grease a bowl with olive oil, place the dough in and drizzle with a little more oil.
- 4Cover with a cloth and leave somewhere warm for 2 hours to rise.
- 5Gently press the air out and knead again a few times before returning to the bowl.
- 6Return to the warm place for a further 40 minutes.
- 7Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
- 8Roll the dough out on a floured baking sheet, as thinly as you can.
- 9Spread tomato paste with the back of a spoon and add the topping of your choice.
- 10Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
