Knead the dough for about 10 minutes to develop the gluten, making it smooth and elastic.
Let the dough prove in a warm place, covered with a damp cloth, for at least two hours or until it has doubled in size.
When spreading the tomato sauce, leave a small border around the edge to create a nice crust (cornicione).
If you don't have a wood-fired oven, a standard oven preheated to 220°C (425°F) will work perfectly.
Keep the remaining dough balls covered while you work on one to prevent them from drying out.
