Add the wai aromahana (lukewarm water) and mīere (honey) in a to a large bowl. Stir it until the honey has dissolved.
Sprinkle over the īhi tere (instant yeast), stir, leave for 5 mins to activate. The yeast should have floated to the top and look slightly foamy.
Add in the rest of the ingredients. Stir with a knife for 1 minute until the ingredients are all combined. It will look sticky but just let it be. Cover with a tea towel or bowl cover and leave for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes it is time to stretch and fold the dough. Take a handful of the dough from down the side of the bowl, pull the dough up as high as it can go and place it in the centre of the bowl. 1/4 turn the bowl and repeat the process. Every time you place the dough in the centre of the bowl and quarter turn the dough, is one count. Stretch and fold 12-15 times. It should take a minute to do.
Cover the dough and leave for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, repeat the stretch and folding process for the second time. Complete another 12-15 stretch and folds.
Cover the dough and leave for 20 minutes.
Stretch and fold 12-15 times in the bowl a third and final time. Now oil a 27cm cast iron pan (or a tin the same size) with 2 Tbsp of noni ōriwa (olive oil). Rub it all over so every part of this pan or tray is covered.
Gently add the dough into the oiled pan and gently stretch it out, I do this by gently rubbing my hands underneath the dough to gently tease it out. Refer to the video for clarity.
Cover and rise for 50 mins to 1 hour. Before the time is up, prepare your toppings.
