Method

Combine the yeast and 50ml of the warm water in a small cup and set aside for 5 minutes until it starts to foam.

Place the flour in a stand mixer or a large bowl. Add the remaining water and mix until the dough comes together. Then add the yeast mixture along with the salt and the oil and mix for at least 10 minutes until a smooth, stretchy dough has formed. Leave to prove somewhere war
