Pour 150ml/5¼fl oz of the water into a bowl and sprinkle over the yeast. Stir to dissolve
then leave to rest in a warm place for ten minutes.
Sift the flour
salt and pepper into a large bowl. Stir the honey and olive oil into the yeast mixture until well combined.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture
mixing to form a soft and slightly sticky dough. Add enough of the remaining water
little by little
until you have achieved the correct consistency.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and lightly flour your hands. Knead the dough for ten minutes until it is smooth and pliable.
Lightly oil a large bowl - it should be big enough to allow the dough to double in size. Put the dough inside and cover with cling film. Set aside in a warm place for 1-2 hours.
When the dough has doubled in size
remove the cling film and punch the dough down. Remove from the bowl and knead again until smooth. Divide into five round balls and let the dough rest before shaping.
To shape the dough
lift a ball of dough on to a lightly floured work surface and lightly flour the top. Flatten the dough with your fingers before picking it up and slapping it onto your work surface. Repeat this a couple of times. Now drape the dough over your clenched fist and stretch it gently from the outside rim.
Place the dough in well-floured pizza tins or baking sheets
top with your choice of toppings and bake in a hot oven until the topping is melted and the edges are crispy.
