Method
01
Activate the yeast
10 minMix 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 minAdd olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until it comes together into a shaggy dough.
03
Knead
8–10 minTurn out onto a floured surface and knead by hand until smooth, elastic, and springs back when pressed.
04
First rise
1–1.5 hrsPlace in an oiled bowl, cover, and leave somewhere warm until doubled in size.
05
Shape & bake
10–12 minStretch, top as you like, and slide into your outdoor pizza oven between 350–400°C until the crust is blistered and golden.
