Divide each dough ball into 12 smaller pieces of dough. Roll the dough into balls, then toss to coat in semolina. Arrange dough balls to form a border on the perimeter of the skillet. Carefully place a small bowl in the centre of the dough circle to make room for the pizza dip later. Cover and allow dough to proof for 2-3 hours.

Place the skillet towards the front of your re-ignited oven to bake for 1 minute, until desired colour is achieved. oven.
