Directions

1. Mix the yeast with the sugar in ½ cup warm water. Leave for about 5 minutes or until foamy.  In a food processor blitz 2½ cups of flour and the salt. Then, with the machine going, add the yeast mix, the olive oil and the other ¼ cup of warm water.  Process until the mixture forms a ball and add more flour little by little if the dough is too wet.
2. Process for another 30 seconds and place the ball of dough in a bowl brushed with extra virgin olive oil, turning to coat.  Cover with shrink wrap and a tea towel. Leave in a warm place for about 1-1½ hours or until doubled in bulk.
3. Lightly dust your bench with flour and roll dough out thinly, then top with ingredients of your choice. Cook in a really hot oven (240°C) in a pan, or on a pizza stone, for approx. 10 minutes or until done to your liking.
