Cooks' notes:

If you don't have a stand mixer, stir together warm water, honey, and yeast in a bowl, then add flour, salt, and oil and stir with a wooden spoon until incorporated. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 8 minutes, if necessary adding 2 to 3 teaspoons more flour, 1 teaspoon at a time. Dukka can be made 1 day ahead and kept, covered, at room temperature. Dough can be made 1 day ahead and put in oiled bowl, then chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature and let rise in a warm place, covered, until doubled in bulk.
