Ball your dough
To make a round pizza you need to ball your dough. We suggest starting with 12" pizzas (250g balls). Portion your dough and shape like this.

2. Pinch and spin
On a floured surface pinch inwards with both hands and spin until you have a round shape.
Once you have your dough balls make sure they’re covered with cling film, a damp tea towel or a lid if you’re using a proofing box.

Make your pizza sauce
Open a can of whole peeled tomatoes into a bowl. Add a generous pinch of sea salt and crush the tomatoes with your hands, a masher, a fork, or a food mill on the thickest gauge until the sauce is the desired chunkiness. Add additional salt to taste.
