You can always add more flour if the dough becomes too wet.
  2. Cover the dough, in a bowl, and leave to rise for approximately 1hr and 30mins. The dough should have doubled in size.
  3. After the first proving, divide the dough into four pieces. Put them on a tray – each one positioned with enough room around it – and leave them until they double in volume.

Top with passata, being careful to leave at least 1cm of uncovered dough on the edges of the circle. Add your desired topping. When finished, put in a preheated oven at 250° and cook directly on a preheated pizza stone for a few minutes.
