Steps:

• For the dough:
• To a bowl add the warm water, honey and olive oil. Mix until the honey is dissolved.
• Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a large mixing bowl. While drizzling in the water, mix with a fork until the dough comes together. If it is too dry, add a little more water until it holds together to form a ball. You can switch to using your hands.
