  • Knead with the dough hook attachment of your mixer on the lowest speed for about 4 minutes until a smooth stretchy dough has formed (if you knead by hand it will take longer).
  • Cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for about 45 minutes. It should more than double in size.
  • Turn out onto a floured board or worktop and gently knock the dough back. Divide the dough into 4.
  • Gently shape each quantity of dough into a pizza shapes on a baking tray or pizza stone sprinkled with polenta to stop it sticking.
