INGREDIENTS

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 sachet (11g) dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/3 cups (320ml) lukewarm water
800 g grated cheese (mozzarella or mixed cheeses)
1 package (200g) feta cheese
Pizza tomato sauce
Pepperoni slices
Oregano
Mushrooms
Turkey breast (deli slices)

METHOD

In a large bowl, add the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix and gradually add the lukewarm water.
Knead until you have an elastic and soft dough (if it sticks, add a little flour). Cover with a cloth and let it rise for 45–60 minutes, until it doubles in size.
Once risen, spread it out on a greased baking pan (35–38 cm diameter) or two medium pans. Spread the tomato sauce on top, sprinkle with oregano, and layer a generous amount of cheese. Add whatever toppings you like on top and bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (top-bottom heating element) for 15–18 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the base is crispy.
