Recipe steps:
- Mix yeast, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup water with 1/2 teaspoon honey in the water. Let it rest for 20 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining flour with salt. Dissolve the remaining honey in the remaining water and add in the olive oil and dough sponge.
