Wonderful August, especially here on our southern coast. So far, we have had some great summer days. Let’s hope it continues so we can all get out and enjoy the array of displays, fairs and activities that a lot of good people help put together for us. There is a “What’s On” page here for you, so don’t miss out on the fun! While you are doing just that you could get someone else to do the work in the house and garden. Our loyal, local advertisers are always ready to give advice and get the job done swiftly and expertly. If there is a trade you are looking for and cannot find inside, please call. I am sure we can help. “Daichi, The Dashing Dude”, our wonderful Dorset Publications Campervan had a lot of fun himself this month when he drove us to Lulworth Cove on our historic Jurassic Coast.

News from Westminster It’s August, which means that Parliament is in recess – and is not sitting. Whilst I will be taking some time off to spend with my family, work as a Member of Parliament continues over the summer in the constituency as usual. If you see me out and about, please do stop me for a chat.
People do sometimes come to Parliament to see me, and I was pleased to be able to speak to some constituents last month when they took the time to come to the climate change event “The Time Is Now” in London. There are so many small things we can all do personally to help combat climate change, but the government must also act. I am therefore really pleased that we are bringing in laws to end our contribution to global warming by 2050 so we can leave the environment in a better state for the next generation. By doing this we are the first country in the world to bring in this type of legislation. Schools have now broken up, so I will not be visiting them, but recess gives me the chance to meet more people, and visit more charities and local businesses. As I write, the weather is bright and sunny, and I hope this continues through the summer, to boost our local tourism industry. Of course we all know that Britain’s best beaches are in Dorset, but we must not forget everything else that Dorset has to offer. It is always such a pleasure for me to find out more about Dorset’s hidden gems – whether local micro-brewing at 8-arch brewery, or Wimborne model town, or the boat hire at the quay in Wareham. And we are very lucky with our open spaces too – our lovely heathland and parks. Tourism, both directly and indirectly, helps to maintain over 46,000 jobs in Dorset, and in 2017 there were 29.4 million visits to Dorset, spending around £1.8billion. Tourism really is a vital sector to encourage and support to develop and sustain local jobs.
current and former Dutch Parliamentarians, civil servants and business people. We also discussed “Alternative Arrangements” plans for after Brexit, and chatted with the British Ambassador about Dutch-British relations. There was also some “soft diplomacy” in the form of inter-parliamentary cricket between the British Parliamentary team and the Dutch Binnenhof. Sadly, not only did we fail to win a match, but I also returned home with a broken finger after some over enthusiastic fielding! Fortunately it is healing well, and doesn’t prevent me from doing my job. If you would like to visit Parliament or have an issue that you need help with, please do get in touch; email me on michael.tomlinson.mp@ parliament.uk or contact my office on 01202 624216.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service. Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing
company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Wimborne area and
manager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Talking about Wildlife...
Reptiles: soaking up the sun in Dorset Like humans, reptiles love basking in the sun at this time of year. In Dorset we are lucky to have lowland heathland habitat to support all six British native reptile species. Reptiles are truly magnificent creatures, but they need a very specific habitat to thrive in and can be very sensitive to changes in their environment, which is why all reptile species are legally protected. You also need a license to handle and monitor them. As reptiles are ectothermic (cold-blooded), they bask in the sun to warm up, and hide away in the shade to cool down again. During the colder months they hibernate, but in the summer months, reptiles will be enjoying the sunshine and feasting on the delights the heath has to offer, with lizards preying on spiders and insects and snakes favouring small mammals. As with lots of wildlife species in Dorset, their survival and success is largely due to having well-managed habitat to thrive in. Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Great Heath team work hard on our heaths to ensure there is sandy soil, low vegetation and not too many trees, to create a dry and warm habitat for reptiles. Sand Lizard

If you’re out on the heath this summer, please admire reptiles from a distance, and do not lift metal tins (used for surveying purposes) to see them. Fires can be devastating to a reptile population on heathland so please report any suspicious behaviour on heathland to Dorset Police on 101. In the event of a fire phone 999.

Brand New Dorset Architectural Heritage Week (Heritage Open Days) 2019 Programme Is Out Now! The hugely popular Dorset Architectural Heritage Week (Heritage Open Days) will be returning once again this September and the brand new 2019 programme, containing details of all the properties taking part this year, launches this week! The programme is available digitally from www.dahw.org.uk and over 6,000 printed copies of the programme are available from local libraries and Tourist Information Centres throughout Dorset. With over 200 events taking place across 64 different venues the 2019 programme of events is a celebration of the finest architectural gems that Dorset has to offer, and every one of them is completely free! There are a number of new events alongside several returning favourites from previous years, with water mills, museums, private houses, stately homes, cemeteries, town halls, churches and even a few air raid shelters there really is something for everyone! Although this is the 26th consecutive Heritage Week,
sadly, the future of the event in 2020 and beyond is at risk. The event sponsors who have supported Heritage Week for the last 10 years are unable to do so this year and organisers will be unable to continue unless they can find new sponsors for the future. Anyone who knows or represents an organisation, group or company that may be able to help can get in touch with the organisers on 01202 888992 or dahwoffice@gmail.com to find out more.

Explaining... Lasting Power of Attorney A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a document which legally enables one or more individuals you know and trust, your Attorneys, to have the Power to make decisions on your behalf if you lose Mental Capacity (capacity). Unlike a Will which deals with your estate when you are no longer here, an LPA deals with your Financial and Care decisions while you are alive but lack capacity. There are two types of LPA; a Property and Financial LPA, and a Health and Welfare LPA. Plan for the Future Contrary to beliefs like, “I would never need an LPA”, or “My next of kin will get the final say”, the reality is that everyone needs an LPA, regardless of age or current mental health status. A former Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice said in 2007 when LPA’s were first introduced, “We all know how important it is to plan for the future. Having a Lasting Power of Attorney in place should be as common and natural as making a Will”. Less than 1% of the adult UK population has an LPA. However, 1 in 3 persons on average over the age of 65 in the UK develop dementia (Alzheimer’s Society), and every 90 seconds someone in the UK, is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury (Headway). Four reasons why you should make and register both types of LPA. 1. Choice. You retain the choice of who to appoint as your Attorney’s and how they should act. If you lose capacity without an LPA in place the Court of Protection will have to appoint a Court Deputy to make decisions on your behalf. There is no guarantee this would be someone you would want and could even be a stranger such as a professional listed on the court panel.
2. Costs. For the Court of Protection to appoint a Deputyship the initial application fee is £385 plus all legal fees and ongoing annual fees payable to the court. All of which can run into thousands of pounds. However, to register each LPA with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) is only £82. 3. Time. To register an LPA with the OPG currently takes 8/10 weeks. A Deputyship application is more time consuming and can take as long as 9 months or more at a time when you desperately need some immediate help. 4. Instructions. LPA’s allow you to specify any instructions you may have for your Attorney’s. These are legally binding and your Attorney’s must follow them. The earlier an LPA is created and registered the better With an LPA document in place, you have peace of mind and full estate planning control. You would have specifically selected your Attorney’s and given them authority to make Financial and Care decisions on your behalf. LPA’s allow you to choose any Replacement Attorney’s and even a professional Attorney (such as a Trust Corporation), in case your primary Attorney’s are unable or unwilling to act. Finally, if you lack capacity but your Property and Financial LPA is not registered, your Attorney’s would not be able to access your bank accounts to pay for expenses such as care home fees until after they validate your LPA when it is officially stamped and registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. If you hold an account jointly with someone else they will find themselves unable to operate the account until an LPA or Deputyship order is produced to the bank.

Dorset Police Male Voice Choir Dorset Police Male Voice Choir, a registered charity, was established on 4th July 1995 celebrating its 21st Anniversary in 2016 when it was privileged to sing at the American Embassy in London as part of their Independence Day celebrations. Having started with just 6 members, the choir now numbers 50. From these small beginnings, the choir has grown, not only in numbers, but also in reputation, with the quality of its singing and breadth of repertoire. The choir aims to promote male voice singing whilst providing enjoyment for its members, supporters, audiences and the wider community. Whilst the choir has a number of retired police officers within its ranks, there are unfortunately no longer any serving police officers. Notwithstanding this situation, the choir is proud to represent Dorset Police both within and outside of the county. The choir based in Bournemouth, is led by their Musical Director Dr Jane Oakland along with the choir’s accompanists Lisa Timbs and Sue Stein. Jane Oakland has been the choir’s Musical
Director since 2009 following her return to the UK from the Netherlands, where she sang primarily with De Nederlandse Opera, but also with Nationale Reis Opera, Groot Omroep Koor and Vlaamse Opera in Antwerp. Since then, Jane has completed a PhD researching career stress for professional musicians. The Choir has performed throughout Dorset in many concert venues in recent years, having also performed widely in many parts of the UK and internationally in France, Guernsey, Jersey, Ireland and the United States of America. During the past 23 years the choir has helped to raise in excess of £300,000 for local, national and international charities and through its concerts, given numerous young local musicians the opportunity to perform, sometimes for the first time, in public. The choir is currently recruiting new members and anyone interested should contact the Secretary at:secdpmvc@btinternet.com or visit dorsetpolicemalevoicechoir.co.uk

The Adventures of Daichi
The Dorset Publications Camper Van We love Lulworth Cove, so when an aunt, uncle and my Mum and Dad came to stay Daichi, the Dorset Publications Campervan, decided it was a great place to go and whileaway the hours in good company. Despite this being a really popular place for tourists, there is a large extended car park and Daichi had no trouble finding a place to park his muscular body (really…?) ready for a spot of sunbathing (it is a good job he doesn’t know about speedos…), while we all walked down to the wonderful shoreline. The Jurassic coast here is quite magnificent. The beautiful almost enclosed cove is quite picturesque. I could not believe how crystal clear the sea was. Pure diamonds were glistening above a greeny-blue hue. Just gorgeous. I could have gazed at it for hours. The rock formations are also fascinating. The Luworth estate website tells us that these rocks are ‘folded’ which means “the sedimentary rocks no longer lay one
Uncle & aunt have an energetic coffee!
Stephen... dreaming of having a boat? on top of the other with the oldest at the bottom and the youngest on the top, but have been twisted so that the oldest rock is nearest to the sea and the youngest inland. Some of the beds have crumbled, twisted and sheared”. The result is a layer of different colours which is quite unique. The whole passage of time and evolving history can be seen at a glance. Back to today - there is a small pleasure boat here now, that takes people out to sea to bob along the shore and have some family fun on the water. Of course, for those who are more energetic you can take your own kayak, snorkelling equipment, dinghy, boat or paddle board. There is no end of amusement and when the weather is good, it is good for the spirit too. For those who like walking (as you know I like to sit with Daichi having coffee), there are stunning views from the cliff tops. We have, believe it or not, done this in the past but

29 today was a leisurely day. A crab sandwich and a coffee by the water was as energetic as we got. What I also love about this area, are the quaint houses and particularly the little sweet shop (ummm…) that used to home a whole family. It is called “The Dolls House” and dates back to the 19th Century. Here you can also have one of our tasty Dorset Cream Teas or of course any one of the delicious Purbeck icecreams. Maybe a walk would have been a good idea… Daichi keeps telling me I need to lose weight. Oh well, it’s just gotta be done. The Museum is also interesting and really informative, so for those who like to learn, this is the place to go. For those who like to shop, this is also the place to go. Lots of local crafts, paintings, fossils and other memorabilia to help remind you of your wonderful day by the sea. A great day was indeed had by all. Fortunately, Daichi didn’t get too sunburnt and with a toot of his horn and a skip in his step he danced us home.

Going Green... I have great respect for Sir David Attenborough. His recent campaign to make us all much more aware of our current planet problems and just how much we need to care for it, inspired me to do something about it. We are all individuals, and as a team of individuals working together, we can keep our environment safe and prevent unnecessary decay and destruction. With that in mind I took an honest look at how much plastic I really use. How many items do I possess, and use on a daily basis, that have plastic bottles? When you really look it is a minefield. We have become so used to plastic, we don’t even see it. It is quite shocking. Becoming overwhelmed usually means nothing gets done as it all seems too much, so it is best to look at the problem one step at a time. My plan in the next few months is to look at some everyday products that can be replaced by not only plastic free containers, but products which are actually BETTER for YOU too! I looked in the bathroom… and saw no end of shiny, colourful plastic bottles. Oh dear. Soap. Since when did we start purchasing soap in bottles? This is so easy to replace with good quality, wonderful smelling natural soaps. These soaps not only have enhancing properties for your skin, they do not at all harm the environment! I am particularly
fond of the lemongrass soap, but if you look on the website you will see many more. All “Friendly” soaps are Free from Palm Oil, Parabens, Sulphates, Triclosan, Phthalates and Cruelty, as well as being boxed in plastic free recycled (and recyclable) packaging. Another product (I had at least 3 different plastic bottles of) was shampoo! Again, there are some much more natural products, that leave you hair soft and shiny, are good for your scalp AND are not stored in plastic containers! There is one on the opposite page for you to see. I tried it and have been amazed by the results! Finally, deodorant. I have tried natural products in the past and been highly disappointed. This one on the following page is incredible. “Earth Conscious” deodorant is aluminium free, paraben free and contains no carcinogens or toxins allowing your body to perspire as nature intended. The packaging is PLASTIC FREE, recyclable and lightweight, making them perfect for travelling. If you would like to know more about the products please feel free to visit my website at debbiegoesgreen.wikaniko.com or give me a call on 01202 894397 as I would love to hear from you.
Let’s get plastic free! Debbie Corney

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Hoarding
It’s hard to remain excited when you’ve had courgette at every meal for a week, and marvellous though raspberries are there is a limit to just how many you can eat at once. Take a bit of time to store your harvest and you can be enjoying home grown right through the winter.
Jobs for August :-
• Water regularly - try to water either in the evening or early mornings. • If you are growing main crop potatoes, watch out for signs of blight. Brown patches on the tops and edges of leaves are usually a first sign. • Pinch out the tops of runner bean stems that are outgrowing their supports. • Keep harvesting those courgettes! • Sow turnips and oriental salad plants such as Pak Choi and Chinese Cabbage • Strawberry runners that were potted up in June to produce new plants can be planted out now. If all has gone to plan (that’s a big if!) then August should be a very satisfying month on your plot, with your hard work being repaid by ample harvests of a good range of fruit and veg. The reality tends to be that the excitement of seeing your crops grow and ripen is initially followed by much enjoyment of the first fruits of your labour which can soon be replaced by a panic stricken ‘What the heck do I do with all these’! Certain crops (courgettes and tomatoes spring to mind) can almost guarantee this sequence of events! Sharing with friends and neighbours is great but very often they will have a glut of exactly the same thing at just the same time. What is called for are some simple ideas for storing and preserving your produce. It may be a long time before you are harvesting fresh peas or raspberries again but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be enjoying your home grown produce throughout the winter - it just takes a little planning and now is the time to do it. Onions (and garlic) that have been lifted and
left to dry can be plaited and hung in a cool, dry place. Net bags, or tights, also work if you don’t fancy plaiting. Potatoes can be stored in boxes or paper sacks in a dark, dry building but you should check them regularly, removing any that show signs of rotting. A good size freezer is a real boon for making the most of your produce. Blanching and then freezing works for loads of vegetables. Key to success is to cool quickly after blanching so have a bowl of cold water at the ready and don’t forget to label what you are freezing! Another option, and one that can work well for all those tomatoes, is to find a good recipe that you can cook, freeze and use later (how about a wonderful pasta sauce with your own tomatoes and home grown basil?). Even ‘difficult to freeze’ veg such as courgettes can either be incorporated into a sauce, or blanched, frozen and then added to a stew at a later date. Cooking and freezing can work well for fruit too - apple or rhubarb are good stewed and frozen all ready for use in a crumble or pie. If you have a truly wonderful fruit crop then why not arm yourself with a good recipe book and get started on some jam making? It’ll be delicious on your toast in the morning, and what better gift than a pot of homemade raspberry jam? It’s amazing how many books there are that tell you how to grow your fruit and veg, but how little information there is on just how to store it all! One wonderful little book, that deals with just this question is ‘How to store your garden produce’ by Piers Warren. It’s packed with information about how to store just about anything and a great addition to any gardeners library. Happy harvesting!

Short Story: THE RESCUE...
Golden sand whipped the walls of my watch tower as I stood like a sentry watching over the dark, blue, menacing sea. Binoculars to my eyes, I searched for anything that shouldn’t be there - at least not in this storm. Waves at least ten feet tall stood proud before toppling over and emitting an enormous sound as the water slammed into either more water or sand. White foam covered the first 10 metres out from the water’s edge where all the waves deposited their immense amount of energy. All of a sudden, a peachy white hand shot out from under the water then sank again (I almost missed it, it happened so fast). Tiny pricks stabbed at my exposed face as I ran to the water’s edge; the wind howled at me not go out, waves presenting their terrible force as they crashed in front of me. Dark clouds rumbled in the distance waiting to unleash their own fury. I was watching like a hawk, my eyes scanning the sea for any signs of that person. Suddenly, the same hand, however this time two, appeared for another split second and disappeared as a wave, the size of my watch tower, engulfed them. I had to rescue them. They needed me. But what if I couldn’t do it? What if I made the situation worse? Could I take that risk? Yes. I grabbed the almost 11-foot, luminous yellow board and sprinted into the ferocious beast… The icy water stole my breath as my chest seized up and my legs started to freeze. The board slammed the surface of my enemy and I leaped out of the heat sapping liquid onto it; my hands went numb as I paddled, ploughing them into the water trying to power through and get to my target as quick as I could. My body ached, my arms burned, I couldn’t take it much longer. But they needed me. CRASH! A wave smacked my board, it almost entirely threw me off, as white foam surrounded me: I saw another coming, but it hadn’t broken yet. The rounded tip pierced and glided through the up rise of water like nothing. Immediately, I saw what was behind that puny wave… the king wave of the set I had just driven through swelled up and began racing towards me like a miniature tsunami. Moments later and I could see the dangerous white foam starting to spread across the crest. Either it had to break before it reached me, or I had to reach it before it started to plunge down on top of me. The race was on. My arms screamed in pain, my chest struggled to keep the supply of oxygen I needed, and I could no longer feel my hands. Numbness was slowly creeping over my body, its tendrils reaching out to every part dispersing any feeling I had there. I hope I can make it, I thought, as the king wave and I flew towards each other. It had not broken. Yet. However, I could see the crest creating a lip (it was starting to pitch over itself). It was about to break. Every part of my body wanted to give up and let the monstrous wall of water take me down with it, but I couldn’t let that happen. As I approached the wave my board started to rise, and I could see the water rushing towards me. I grasped my board and elevated my body as my board and I almost started to go vertical. I closed my eyes; I could do no more but hope… A thunderous discharge of energy pounded my ears. Did I survive? I opened my eyes to see my fluorescent board and I still together: my body still in the rigid position I had assumed. I peered behind me and saw huge amounts of white foam where the gigantic wave had plummeted into the water. Better luck next time, Poseidon , I thought, as I chuckled to myself and started to paddle again. My board gently rose and fell as swells of anticipated waves flowed past me. My perceptions snapped into action as I searched for the person I had come all this way for. A quick glance and I saw them: floating and unmoving. They needed me. I rapidly paddled over and in a flash was in the water flipping over my board; I grabbed their arms and placed them over my now upside-down
rescue craft. Balancing my adrenaline filled muscles and trying to be as careful as I could, I heaved the board back over as I held the person’s arms so that they followed its motion. Eventually, they lay perpendicular on my own lifeline. I twisted their body so that they were parallel and I could get on – it’s imperative for me to be on the board too. I swam round and faced my own saviour (the board) towards the golden sands where waves, still deathly aggressive, slammed into the beach. With a mighty pull on the handles, I slid onto the rear of the craft before engaging in the foreboding journey back. As I madly paddled towards safety with an unconscious body in front of me, I could feel the swells getting larger. This was it. I had done the first segment, but could I do the same again? Numbness had already conquered any feeling I had left, except the ones I didn’t want. All I could feel was the torture I was putting myself through: burning arms, burning chest, burning blood vessels as they fought to supply any energy they could scrape for me. My wetsuit tugged at my weakening arms and my hands began to splash the saltwater onto my face. I couldn’t do it. I could see that ten metre stretch of deadly white spray as the board cut through my enemy. While paddling, I felt the back of my board start to rise – a wave. I shifted my body backwards so that we didn’t nosedive into the glacial like water. It was enough, at least for now. The person I had rescued and I rode the wave towards the shore like a soaring seagull, as we raced with the wave. The wave grew bigger, stronger and more powerful the further we rode it towards safety. It was getting too large though, I couldn’t put enough of my weight rearwards. The nose of my board began to sink, water and salt flew into my eyes. It stung. It was as if wasps were sending their stingers straight into my eyes. It happened too quickly. The board dug its nose into the water and the corpse-like body and I tumbled off. My arms were too weak, they felt like lead, I couldn’t grasp anything - the board nor the person. The salt blinded me and my body sank beneath the waves. Was this it? Was this the end? I couldn’t do it. But I had come all this way… no. They needed me. Whoever I had tried to save hadn’t been saved just yet. I can’t give up, not after all of this. Strength surged into my muscles, adrenaline fuelled my heart and my own lifeless body began to twitch as I fought the reapers wrath and began to swim to the surface. My head burst out the water, instantly looking around wildly for my board or the person. Something was floating (it was too dark to be my board). I swam as if I had suddenly become an Olympic swimmer. Although my muscles were on fire and my eyes felt like they were melting, I carried on. I wrapped my arm around that other body and frantically kicked my legs and swung my arm under the water. I was so close; another eight metres and I was there – the final length. All alarms were ringing in my body, reverberating around my skull, telling me to stop what I was doing and give up. That wasn’t an option. Waves piled on top of us making my back sear in pain. I couldn’t let go. Not now. As if by a miracle, my foot kicked something underneath me, it was sand! I charged out of the water like a bull, still carrying the person I had rescued. I had done it. Dripping wet and icy cold I dragged the person toward my watch tower. I could now truly look at them without the danger of a wave engulfing us. I placed her on a chair and, with a shaking hand, dialled 999. Without hesitation, the lady at the other end had sent us an ambulance and told me we were going to be alright. The emergency services were on their way. I had done my duty. I sat down next to the lady I had rescued, my entire body shivering as I did, and I gently took hold of her hand and closed my eyes. Within seconds, I blacked out next to her still with her hand in mine. by Hayden Corney - age 15

Tastes so good... MINI PIZZAS
With these Mini Pizzas you really have the chance to make them your own. Cover them with tomato and cheese and then pick from any number of topping choices: Pineapple and ham, pepperoni or even chicken and sweetcorn. Alternatively create your own unique toppings.
Ingredients 450g strong white bread flour 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 7g sachet fast-action yeast 350ml warm water 2 tsp. salt
Equipment: Large bowl Oven: 240C, Gas Mark 9, 220C Method: In a large bowl, mix together the yeast, flour and 2 teaspoons of salt. Once this is all mixed together, create a well in the middle. In a separate jug, mix together the oil and the water and then pour into the bowl. Then, work the liquid into the flour mix to create the dough. Leave the bowl to one side for 15 minutes. Create a well-floured surface and put flour on your hands then begin to knead the dough. Do this for about 2 minutes until it is soft and even. Put the dough back in the bowl and cover it with oiled cling film. Leave it once again to one side (preferably in a warm place). When the dough has risen to double its size, heat the oven and place a baking sheet on a high shelf. Then dust another sheet with flour before splitting the dough into 8. Roll 3 balls thinly into circles and put them on the floured sheet. Use a thin layer of sauce on top with some seasoning and cheese of your choice. Bake for 12 minutes until golden then add fresh toppings of your choice and use the rest of the dough to create more!
