  3. Separate the dough into two equal sized balls.
  4. Move the first ball to a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 mins, turning it periodically to flour both sides.

  7. Line your pizza trays with baking paper and lightly flour the paper.
  8. Transfer the pizza bases to the trays.
INSTRUCTIONS TOPPING
  1. Really you can organise it how you want, but obviously thinly spread the sauce over the pizzas, if you put too much on it will become soggy and wont cook well. Well arranged ours in the following way:
  2. Sauce added.
  3. A small pinch of grated mozzarella.
  4. The ham torn into smaller pieces.
  5. Two slices of mushroom per pizza.
  6. Sun-dried tomatoes & mozzarella balls
  7. 3 slices of block mozzarella per pizza
  8. Olives on top
  9. Drizzle the garlic oil lightly over each and lightly baste the edges to make them extra crispy when cooked.
  10. Place the pizzas in the oven for 8-10 minutes but regularly check them until they are cooked to your preference.
