- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with cling film and set aside to prove for 1 hour.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured bench, divide into three equal portions, form into balls and place into 1L capacity containers sprayed with olive oil.
- Place into the refrigerator overnight.
- Remove the dough balls two hours before cooking the pizzas.
