Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Leave the dough at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C with convection/gas 9. Lightly dust a clean work surface, rolling pin and your largest baking tray with flour. Roll out the dough and stretch it so that it just fits the tray. Transfer it there and press it into the corners of the tray.

2. 2

   Spread the leftover sauce and sprinkle most of the mozzarella. In a bowl, combine the meatballs, oregano, fennel, chili powder (optional) and 2 tbsp olive oil. Spread the mixture over the mozzarella. Sprinkle the olives and the remaining mozzarella. Drizzle a little extra olive oil and bake in the oven for 12 minutes, until crisp and golden. Serve, cut into slices, with a fresh green salad.
