Step 1
Set the oven temperature to 220 degrees C. Mix together the flour, salt and yeast. Mix 45ml of the olive oil with the warm water. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and stir in the liquid, a little at a time because you may not need to add it all. Continue to mix until the dough is soft, but not too sticky. |
