5. Add toppings of choice and bake in a hot oven at about 200°C for about 20 minutes. Timing will depend on toppings used.

Tips

• If you are a beginning cook and unsure about making dough rise, here is a tip I read somewhere online. Pinch off a small ball of dough (the size of a marble) and put it into a glass of water. When the ball of dough rises to the surface of the water, it means your yeast has proved and your dough is ready for the next step. 

• You can sprinkle a small handful of cornmeal to the baking pan before stretching the dough into shape. This adds a nice, ever-so-slight crunchy texture to the bottom of the pizza and helps keep it from sticking to the pan.
• If this batch of dough is more than you need in one day, wrap the extra in cling film and store in fridge until the next day. Knead for 30 seconds to re-awaken the dough before using.
