- Gently flatten down and then use a rolling pin to roll over the top of the parchment paper until you have a rough 9-inch pizza base. (Do not handle the dough with hands you must use parchment paper)
- Very slowly and carefully, lift off the top parchment paper, you can use a spatula if any areas have stuck to carefully lift off the top sheet of parchment paper.
- Transfer the sheet of parchment paper with the dough to a baking tray. You can neaten up the pizza base with the spatula by pushing it inwards to make it more round.
- Bake for approx 15-20mins until lightly golden and firm.
- Add pizza sauce, mozzarella, fresh parsley or basil and place back in the oven for 10 mins until cheese is melted.
- Slice, serve and enjoy
