Method

01

Activate the yeast

10 min

Mix yeast, warm water, and sugar in a jug. Let it sit until foamy — this tells you the yeast is alive and working.

02

Mix the dough

3 min

Add olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until it comes together into a shaggy dough.

03

Knead

8–10 min

Turn out onto a floured surface and knead by hand until smooth, elastic, and springs back when pressed.

04

First rise

1–1.5 hrs

Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and leave somewhere warm until doubled in size.

05

Shape & bake

10–12 min

Stretch, top as you like, and slide into your outdoor pizza oven between 350–400°C until the crust is blistered and golden.
