Instructions

1. 1

   --- Steps ---

2. 2

   Whisk water, yeast & sugar in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, cover & set aside for 5 mins.

3. 3

   Add olive oil, salt & flour, beat on low speed for 5 mins, until dough comes together & when poked, slowly bounces back (if not, continue kneading)

4. 4

   Move dough to one side of bowl, lightly grease with olive oil & turn dough around to coat all sides.

5. 5

   Cover & allow to rise at room temp for 1-2 hrs or until it doubles in size.

6. 6

   Combine ingredients for BBQ sauce in a small pot over low heat, simmer for 15 mins, taste to adjust seasoning & set aside.

7. 7

   Preheat oven to 240C, lightly grease baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil & sprinkle lightly with cornmeal.

8. 8

   When dough is ready, punch down to release air bubbles, divide in 1/2, transfer onto lightly floured surface & using lightly floured hands, gently flatten into a disc, place on prepared pan, stretch & flatten into a 12 inch circle (I simply made 1 huge pizza rectangle)

9. 9

   Brush surface with olive oil, use fingers to make dents, arrange toppings, bake for 12-15 mins, slice & serve immediately.
