Mix five cups of flour with a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of salt.
  • ½ cup water
Add the bloomed yeast and water; add another half cup of water, keeping the dough a little loose.
Knead by texture until smooth and tacky; do not over-knead or it gets tough.
  • oil
Oil the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and rest at least an hour; or refrigerate overnight for more flavour and acidity.
Bake on a pizza stone in a 500F oven about five minutes, until puffed and coloured on the bottom.
