Combine flour, 1 tablespoon sea salt and yeast in a large bowl (I use my KA bowl!)

In a separate bowl (I use a jug!) combine honey and 300ml warm water. Gradually add liquid to dry ingredients and mix with your hands to combine. (I cheat and use a wooden spoon then just the dough hook on my KA on the first click- very low)

Add the oil then mix to combine

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and lightly knead for about 5 minutes or until the dough comes together

Place in a food processor with a dough hook and knead for 2-3 minutes, adding extra water or flour as needed. Bill then says you can knead it all by had for an extra 5 minutes. personally- I use my KA for it all!

Form dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl. Rub the top of the dough with oil to stop it going crusty

Cover with a damp tea towel and place in a warm, draught free place for 1-2 hours until dough has doubled in size

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and punch down with your fist

Knead lightly, then divide into 4 balls

Place each ball into a small oiled bowl and cover with damp tea towels

Place in a warm, draught-free place for 20-30 minutes until dough has doubled in size again

Roll out each ball on a floured surface to make a 30cm round base

Place each base on a lightly oiled pizza tray before adding pizza toppings

For Bill's tomato sauce heat 2tbs olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat

Add 1 small onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until the onion is soft

Add 2 cloves of sliced garlic and cook, stirring for another minute

Add 1 400g tin of crushed tomatoes and bring to the boil
