Prep Time 15 minutes, plus 30 minutes' proving time

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

440 ml warm water
1 x 10 g sachet of instant yeast
1 t sugar
2 T olive oil
500 g flour
1 T salt
200 g halloumi cheese, grated

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Combine the water, yeast, sugar and olive oil in a jug. Place the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre.

Pour the water mixture into the bowl and gradually combine, drawing in flour from the sides as you go.

Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a clean surface and knead for 5 minutes, or until smooth.

Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with clingfilm and allow to prove for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Knock back the dough and divide into 4 pieces. Roll out each piece into a circle on a clean, floured surface.

Top with the halloumi, olives and chilli and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
