1. Make the base: Put the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and salt. Make a well, pour in 300 ml warm water and the olive oil and bring together with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, fairly wet dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins until smooth. To achieve the perfect consistency, when making the dough, keep some extra flour and water nearby to add if necessary. Cover with a tea towel and set aside. You can leave the dough to rise if you like, but it’s not essential for a thin crust.

2. Roll out the dough: if you’ve let the dough rise, give it a quick knead, then split into a ball. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into large rounds, about 25cm across, using a rolling pin. The dough needs to be very thin as it will rise in the oven. Lift the rounds onto two floured baking sheets.
3. Top and bake: heat the oven to 460°C to 485°C fan/gas 8. Put another baking sheet or an upturned baking tray in the oven on the top shelf. Place the pizza stone on the center oven or grill rack and preheat to 460°C to 485°C, after 10-15 min maxim take out from stone or grill, drizzle some olive oil over the pizza dough, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced prosciutto, garlic clove minced, cherry tomatoes sliced or not, over the dough.
Transfer to the pizza stone and grill or bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese is start to melting and the underside of the crust is golden brown. Once the pizzas are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Sprinkle parmesan cheese shavings on top, torn arugula leaves, basil leaves on top, if desired..
Repeat step for remaining pizza dough.
