Instructions
In a measuring jug mix the oil, lukewarm water, sugar and fast acting yeast
Leave in a warm place for 10 minutes for the yeast to begin foaming

Add the yeast mixture and combine to a smooth, firm dough
On a floured work surface, knead the dough for 5 minutes and form into a ball
Put the ball into the large mixing bowl, cover with cling film and leave in a warm place to prove until it doubles in size - about an hour
Tip the dough back out on to the floured work surface, divide into 3 equal parts and flatten each into 1cm circles
