Method:

Mix the flour, instant yeast, sugar and salt in a mixing bawl.

Add the olive oil to the hot water. Add just enough water to the flour mixture to form a soft, manageable dough and knead for about 10-15 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl.  Leave in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume. Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knock back.

Roll out and place on a baking tray. Top with favourite toppings and bake in a hot oven until the base is golden and cooked through.

Notes

For a thick base roll the dough out in a circle about 30 cm in diameter.

For a thinner base roll the dough into two thinner circles, each about 25- 30 cm in diameter.

For mini-pizzas divide the dough into 4-6 pieces and roll out smaller circles, each about 10 cm in diameter.
