Recipe From
Ingredients
1kg strong bread flour, plus extra for dusting
1 x 7g sachet of dried yeast
20g runny honey
olive oil, for greasing
Method
- Pile the flour and 2 level teaspoons of sea salt onto a large flat surface or into a large bowl and make a well in the middle.
- In a jug, mix the yeast into 650ml of lukewarm water, stir in the honey, and leave for a few minutes. Now, gradually pour the mixture into the well, then use a fork to stir and bring in the flour from the outside to form a dough.
- Knead on a flour-dusted surface, picking the dough up and slapping it back down, for 10 minutes, or until smooth and springy. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, then cover with a clean damp tea towel and prove in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Knead and punch the dough, knocking all the air out of it, for about 1 minute. From here, you can shape the dough into whatever shape you want – round, flat, filled, or twister – and leave to prove a second time in a warm place until the dough is double its size.
