- Measure the water, honey, and olive oil in a small bowl. Warm in the microwave for 20 seconds. Add the yeast and gently stir. Set aside.

- Measure the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Whisk together.

- Grease a nine inch cake pan with olive oil.
- Place dough into the center of the cake pan or cast iron skillet and push down to flatten into a disk. Using the heal of your hand work the dough from the center out to the edges of pan. If dough is resisting and pulling away from the edges of the pan, stop and allow the dough to rest another five minutes before continuing.

- Bake for about 12 minutes until dough is cooked through and crispy on the bottom and edges and the cheese has melted.
