I didn't need to proof the yeast, but I did make sure the Oil-water mixture was 110F before I mixed. However the Proportions are a little off. I had to add an additional 1/3 cup of water, together with approximately 3/4 cup of flower and some oil "until the dough pulled away from the side of the bowl." I was careful not to add too much additional water without adding oil. I also added a blend of Savory, Sage, Rosemary, Garlic Powder, Marjoram to name a few. I cooked my attempt with recipe at 400C. for 18-20minutes. My next attempt I would change the proportions but with a little more Vegetable Oil instead of water. It won't hurt using slightly less Yeast too. I served this with Balsamic vinegar and Olive Oil and a Italian-Style Beef Soup as my main dish. I rate this recipe a 4 because the Proportions are off.
