Add more flour and water if necessary.

4) Knead the dough on a dry floury surface until it has a smooth and stretchy texture.

Now scatter your mozzarella around your pizza evenly and sprinkle with salt, pepper and oregano. Drizzle with olive oil. Place on the top shelf of your oven and cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the base is crispy. Now you can add your own choice of extra toppings. Remember to ensure any meat used has been previously cooked. Then return to the oven for a further 4-7 minutes.
