Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups warm water (100-110°F)
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons optional: cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes foamy. This indicates the yeast is activated.

Step 2

Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook. Continue adding flour until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky but pulls away from the bowl.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead by hand for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead with a stand mixer on medium speed for 5-6 minutes.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Turn the dough to coat it with the oil, then cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm area for 1-1.5 hours, or until the dough doubles in size.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions (or more, depending on your desired pizza size). Roll out each portion on a lightly floured surface to your preferred thickness. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or dusted with cornmeal.

Step 8

Add your desired sauce, cheese, and toppings to the dough.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. If using a pizza stone, adjust the bake time to 8-12 minutes, watching closely.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy your Honey Pizza Dough Awesome creation!
