Avocado oil is healthier, while vegetable oil is more budget-friendly.

Weigh out 460 grams of wheat berries, using about 340 grams of hard white wheat and the rest as cimo.

Mill the wheat berries to get fresh flour.

Heat the water in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until warm.

In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, sea salt, and olive oil.

Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes before adding yeast.

If using active dry yeast, prepare it by mixing a pinch of sugar with a small amount of warm water and letting it sit until foamy.

After the resting period, add the yeast mixture to the wet ingredients.

Mix the wet ingredients on low speed before gradually adding the freshly milled flour.

Continue mixing until the dough comes together and is well combined.

Transfer half of the dough to a parchment-lined 9x13 pan and save the other half in a Ziploc bag with oil for later use.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size before dimpling the surface.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs of choice.

Let it rise again briefly before baking.

Preheat the oven and bake until golden brown.

Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
