Directions

1. If you're preparing a finished pizza, preheat your oven to 175°C, otherwise, you can skip this step!

2. Combine the flour, olive oil, water, and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl until you reach a sticky dough. Be careful not to over-mix, as this will lead to a tough pizza base.

3. Place a large frying pan on a medium heat.

4. Place the ball of dough between two sheets of baking parchment approximately 30cm square. Roll out into a flat disc—the baking parchment will prevent the dough sticking to your rolling pin!

5. Place your pizza base in the large frying pan and dry fry for 3-4 minutes on each side.

6. Place base on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. If you're preparing a finished pizza, use this time to prepare your toppings!

7. Add your toppings to your base and place in the oven. Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and your toppings are cooked through.
