Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 14 minutes minutes
Total Time: 24 minutes minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients:

Dough:

1 kg white bread flower
1 teaspoon salt
14g yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
4 tablespoons extra virgon olive oil

Sauce and Toppings:

60g marinara sauce
120g mozarella cheese shredded
20 slices salami
1 tablespoon dried mix of basil, oregano, rosemary, marjoram, thyme
Grated parmesan cheese (for garnish)
fresh parsly (for garnish)

Dough

Sieve the flour/s and salt on to a clean work surface and make a well in the middle.
In a jug, mix the yeast, sugar and oil into 650ml of lukewarm water and leave for a few minutes, then pour into the well.
Using a fork, bring the flour in gradually from the sides and swirl it into the liquid. Keep mixing, drawing larger amounts of flour in, and when it all starts to come together, work the rest of the flour in with your clean, flour-dusted hands. Knead until you have a smooth, springy dough.
Place the ball of dough in a large flour-dusted bowl and flour the top of it. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place in a warm room for about an hour until the dough has doubled in size.
Now remove the dough to a flour-dusted surface and knead it around a bit to push the air out with your hands (this is called knocking back the dough). You can either use it immediately, or keep it, wrapped in clingfilm, in the fridge (or freezer) until required.
If using straight away, divide the dough up into as many little balls as you want to make pizzas. This amount of dough is enough to make about six to eight medium pizzas.
Timing-wise, it's a good idea to roll the pizzas out about 15 to 20 minutes before you want to cook them. Don't roll them out and leave them hanging around for a few hours, though if you are working in advance like this it's better to leave your dough, covered with clingfilm, in the fridge. However, if you want to get them rolled out so there's one less thing to do when your guests are round, simply roll the dough out into rough circles, about 0.5cm thick, and place them on slightly larger pieces of olive-oil-rubbed and flour-dusted tin foil. You can then stack the pizzas, cover them with clingfilm, and pop them into the fridge.
