Dissolve the yeast in the water and add 1 teaspoon sugar. Leave it to stand in a warm place for 5 minutes. Sieve the flour and salt together. Add the olive oil and then the yeast with water in with the flour. Mix quickly using a fork, until a soft dough is formed. An electric mixer can also be used using a dough hook. The dough should be kneaded well either by hand or using the mixer, for at least 5 minutes. The dough should be covered with a damp cloth and left in a warm place to rise – called proving. Leave for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven at 180oC/Gas Mark 6. Prepare all of the toppings – grate the cheese and chop or slice any other ingredients. Knead the dough again very lightly. Divide into 2 pieces. Grease a baking tray with olive oil and open half the dough onto the tray using your hands. Spread the tomato sauce, leaving a little border of dough and top with the chosen toppings. Sprinkle sesame seeds on the edges. Put the pizza in the oven until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden, around 20 minutes. Recipe and photos by Ms Thea Barthet.
