Preheat the oven to 220c (240c if no fan)

Mix 150ml of the water with the yeast until all of the yeast is dissolved. Set aside for 10min

Meanwhile whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper

Pour the olive oil into the yeast mixture and mix well

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour the yeast mixture into it. Mix it to form a slightly sticky and soft dough. Add the remaining 100ml water in until it feels the right consistency (should be soft but not too sticky). If it's too sticky, add an extra sprinkle of flour.

Lightly oil a large bowl - it should be big enough to allow the dough to double in size. Put the dough inside and cover with cling film. Set aside in a warm place for 1-2 hours

Meanwhile make the pizza base. Combine all ingredients for the base in a large sauce pot on the stove. Let it heat until it begins to boil, and then simmer it for 10min. Take it off the heat and let it cool.

Lightly flour the dough and surface and work the pizza until it's nice and thin.
