  7. Get a bowl, spray olive oil into the bowl, with a tissue spread the oil all over. place the dough ball into the bowl and let it rest for 2 hours. ( after 1 hour passes knead the dough ball for 30 seconds and place it back for 1 hour)

  8. After the 2 hours are up, you will have noticed that the dough ball has doubled in size. Lightly flour the dough ball to loosen it up from the bowl. place the dough ball onto a clean surface.

  10. Gently spread the dough ball from the center and move towards the crust area. if you can spin the dough then this the the time to give it a couple of spins. after you have reached the desired size or just as you feel the dough is about to rip, stop spreading and prepare for the next step

  12. Apply the sauce from the center and move out. its always nice to leave 1-2 cm of the crust without sauce. add a generous amount of cheese and any toppings if desired. I always spray olive oil on the cheese and crust, the cheese gets a great caramelized effect and the crust is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
