Method

1. Mix the flour, yeast and salt together in a mixing bowl.
2. Pour in the olive oil and water and mix on medium for 5 minutes.
3. Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes.

5. Put back in the bowl, cover it and leave to rise until doubled in size.
6. When well risen, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and using your hands push the dough into a rough circle on a heavily floured tray. Try not to knock the air out of the dough while you are shaping it.
