The idea

1

Wake the yeast

1 tsp active dry yeast + ½ cup warm water + 1 tsp sugar. Wait 10 min → foamy.

2

Mix, knead 8 min

2½ cups maida + 1 tsp salt + 2 tbsp olive oil + yeast water + ~½ cup more water. Windowpane test.

3

Rise 1 hour

Oiled bowl, covered, warm spot. Doubled in size.

4

Preheat oven + pan

Max temp (~250 °C). Cast iron or pizza stone in there for 20 min. Hot = blister.

preheat the pan, not just the oven
5

Stretch, top, bake

Stretch by hand (don't roll). Sauce → cheese → toppings sparse. 7 min on the hot pan.
