Step 1

Mix the water with yeast and sugar and sit for 10 minutes

Step 2

Mix the flour, salt, and 1 tbsp oil and pour in the yeast mixture

Step 3

Leave in a stand mixer or knead for 10 minutes

Step 4

Put the other tbsp of oil into a large bowl and rub all over

Step 5

Form the dough into a large ball and tuck all the straggly bits underneath, stretching and working the gluten around to a tight ball and place in the bowl. Cover with cling film and leave in the fridge overnight

Step 6

2 hours before you need it, bring the dough out the fridge and split into 4 equal parts

Step 7

Form each piece of dough into a tight doughball and leave in a floured proving tray covered with cling film for 2 hours until it has doubled in size. If it’s a cold day find a warm ish spot

Step 8

To prepare the pizza, lay a ball onto a floured surface. Press down on the middle with your fingers leaving a crust around the outside

Step 9

Pick the dough up and hold it by the crust while rotating and holding on to the next bit of crust to begin to stretch out the pizza. Once it is 8 inches, start to toss between your hands to continue to stretch until it is about 12 inches. Lay on your floured surface and adjust to make it an even circle using your flat palms

Step 10

Lay down your fillings of choice and get it cooked - 90 seconds in a pizza oven rotating every 30 seconds, 4 minutes in a ripping hot pan before going under a hot grill/broiler for 3 minutes, or oven baking at 240 for 8-12 minutes
