1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups mozzarella, shredded

- Combine flour, salt, oil and the rest of the water and mix with the yeast mixture.
- Pick up the ball of dough with your hands and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
- Divide dough in to 6 equal balls.
- Roll out the ball into a circle about ¼" thick and add 1/6 of the cheese, 1/6 of the meat and 1/6 of the tomato sauce.
