I love this dough so much that I shared it in my cookbook, Love Real Food. You can refrigerate or freeze the dough easily. Do note that I have used a stand mixer to knead the dough, but its also easy to knead the dough with hands. Just make sure that the dough is kneaded till smooth, soft and supple. Mix water, oil, honey and yeast.
