Ingredients Required

• 1 cup of warm water (105F)
• 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 teaspoons of honey
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of yeast

 

Step by Step Procedure

1.

Put
warm water (80 to 110°F) into a bowl. Add salt and honey and mix with a
spoon. Add yeast, mix and let it sit for about 10 minutes.

2.

Gradually add flour and olive oil and start mixing.

3.

When the mixture gets too heavy to mix, start kneading the dough with your hands.

4.

Knead
the dough until you have a smooth ball. If the dough cracks it is too
dry. Add water bit by bit until if forms a nice coherent ball. If your
doug feels more like batter, it is too wet and you need to add flour
bit by bit. If you need to add water or flour, do it by small amounts.

5.

Coat
the dough with olive oil, place it in a large bowl and cover it with
kitchen wrap or a grocery bag. Let the doug rise for about an hour at
room temperature, then push it down again so it deflates. Let it sit
for about another hour. If you want to use it the next day, put it in a
refrigerator.

6.

Put
the dough on a lightly floured surface, put a bit of flour on top and
make it into the shape of a pie by stretching it out from the center
outwards. Use a rolling pin until the dough is about 1/4" thick. Punch
some holes in the dough with a fork to let the air escape while the
pizza is in the oven

7.

Put on your pizza sauce of choice.

Put on your favorite pizza toppings.

8.

Bake the pizza in you oven at 400 - 450° F for about 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is light brown.
