1 tbs dried instant yeast

Method

1.

Combine flour, semolina, yeast, sugar, oil and 1 tsp salt in an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add 1 cup (250ml) warm water, then knead for 8-9 minutes until smooth. (Alternatively knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes or until smooth.) Place in an oiled bowl, cover and set aside in a warm place for 3 hours or until doubled in size.
2.

Knock back dough, then separate into four rounds. Place on an oiled baking tray, cover with a tea towel and rest for 30 minutes.
3.

Preheat barbecue or char grill pan to high. Roll out dough on a floured surface to a 5mm-thick oval. Brush both sides generously with oil (to prevent it from sticking to the grill). Char grill for 2-3 minutes each side until charred. Add toppings, then serve.
