215 ml warm water

1 tbsp instant yeast

1 tbsp salt

1 tbsp sugar

Step 2

Using wet hands stretch one corner of the dough as high as it can before tearing it and fold it into the centre. Repeat with all four edges, then cling the bowl and put in the dough proofer for 30 minutes on 26°C, or leave in warm place for 30 minutes.

In the meantime, grab a 6-inch non-stick skillet/cast iron/baking dish/airtight cake tin, which is oven proof. Pour a generous layer of olive oil covering the base of the skillet, ensuring to rub the edges too.
