Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp instant yeast

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 450g strong white flour

  5. Leave this to rise in a warm place for two hours or until doubled in size.

  6. Turn this out onto a floured surface. Knock back the dough.

  7. Knead for a short period and then make into a shape about 30 x 10 cm.
