Mix the flour and yeast together and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
Roll the dough into a ball, make a criss-cross cut on it, put it in a bowl, cover it with cling film to prevent it from getting weathered, and put it in a warm place for about 3 hours so that it doubles in size.

Place the dough in a warm place.

When the dough has risen, flatten it with your hand and roll it out into a circle about 5mm thick.
Grease a baking tray with olive oil or cover with baking paper.
Roll out the circle of dough over the baking tray so that it covers the entire area. The dough should be thicker at the edges than in the center.
Spread the toppings over the dough, leaving 2cm of free dough around the edges.
Cook the pizza in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy!
