Shopping LIST:

 

125ml lukewarm water, 190g flour, 3g dried yeast, (or 30g starter), 3g salt, 3tbsp olive oil.

Method:

• In a jug, mix 125ml lukewarm water and 3tbsp olive oil.

 

• Place 190g flour, 3g dried yeast and 3g salt in a large bowl and combine the ingredients with your fingertips.

 

• Pour the liquid into the flour in a few stages, mixing each time with stiff fingers (use left hand for pouring water if you are right-handed).

 

• Once the ingredients have roughly combined you can rest the dough. This gives the flour time to absorb the water and will make the dough easier to knead.

 

• After 15 minutes, use your fingers and knuckles to knead the dough for 8-10 minutes.

 

Note: use extra flour for dusting and little olive oil for your hands.

 

• Once kneaded, shape the dough into a bowl and place it in a tray greased with olive oil and add a little more olive oil on top of the dough. Cover with clingfilm and leave it to prove for about 2 hours.
