Higher-protein bread flour, a little oil and sugar for browning in home ovens. Fresh yeast is three times the instant weight and active dry about 1.2 times (King Arthur: instant = fresh × 0.33, active dry = fresh × 0.4; source).
Method
- Dissolve the salt in the water, add about a tenth of the flour and the yeast, then the rest of the flour and the oil.
- Knead until smooth.
- Ferment: a few hours at room temperature, or 24–72 hours in the fridge for more flavour.
- Shape and stretch, top and bake as hot as your oven allows.
