 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       lb           Plain FLour
  1       oz           Fresh Yeast, dissolved in
                       -warm water
  1       t            Salt
    1/2   pt           Hand-hot water

 Sift the flour on to a work surface and make a well in
 the middle. Pour the dissolved yeast into the well,
 add the salt and mix. Bit by bit add the warm water,
 kneading all the time to make a soft, pliable dough.
 Knead dough until it is light and elastic, then form
 into four balls. Put them on to floured plates, cover
 and leave in a warm place to prove (rise) for about 1
 hour. Roll out dough balls into circles 12 inches in
 diameter. Drizzle a little olive oil over the surface
 of each and top with ingredients of your choice. Bake
 for 12-15 minutes in the oven at it's highest
 temperature, on a flat metal baking tray that's been
 preheated, so that the base cooks crisply.
