Mix the honey and water together and warm to blood temperature.
Add the yeast, crumbling it with your fingers.
Do not overheat the water or the yeast will die.
Tip the flour and salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre. When the yeast is foaming, after about 10 minutes, add the water and honey and olive oil to the flour.
When it forms a mass, turn it out onto the bench and knead.
Continue kneading for 8 minutes, until the dough is strong and elastic.
Place the dough back in the bowl and allow it to prove in a warm place until the dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
At this stage it can be knocked down for use or refrigerated until needed (it must be able to come back to room temperature for a couple of hours)
I havent tasted the end result yet as it is still proofing. The consistency was way off and I had to add an extra cup of water and 50ml of oil. Very confusing. back to the drawing board for you Neil!
This Pizza Dough is absolutely fantastic! I added a half cup extra water as I kneaded the dough in a very large mixing bowel for 8 minutes. The dough is magnificent. I cut it into four, rolled into balls and placed back into the large mixing bowel, covered with glad wrap for one hour to rise. This is a magic recipe and I'm going to laminate my print out.
Tried this, found the water quantity needed to be increased significantly to get a workable dough. Turned out well though, although I did at a tablespoon of bread improver as well, perhaps just personal preference.
*** RECIPE
Great recipe but used 5 cups of flour with 300 ml of water. The key is allowing it to prove. The pizza's got better and better as we made them.
I use this recipe all the time I too have to add extra water. I make a half batch but use 350mls water.
Measurements are wrong. It is not possible to knead 1 1/2 kg of floor with 500ml water.
True. I had to use 1kg of flour with 65ml of water
Whats the point of putting on a recipe if the measurements are wrong? Booooo
cant wait to try for the footy tonite
Hownany grams of bread immprover ,equal to 30g of dry yeast?
this is my favorite pizza base recipe, i love it thanks for sharing.
The water will vary from place to place due to the flour and how much hydration it needs.
Needed a little extra water, tasted great!

Like stuart said, need to add 250 water to get a soft dough.
7g dry yeast = 15g fresh yeast. Usually 7g per sachet, so two sachets will equal 30g of fresh yeast.
If I cant get fresh yeast, can I use dried yeast and how much of the dried yeast should I use ?
