Homemade Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 teas active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp honey or sugar
- 2 teas salt
- 2 tbsp oil I use olive or avocado
- 2.5-3.5 cups bread flour regular or whole wheat will work also
Instructions
- To a mixing bowl add yeast, honey, and warm water. Wait until it starts bubbling before next step (approx. 5-10 minutes).
- Add oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix, and gradually add more flour until a dough ball forms. You should be able to touch the dough without it sticking to your hand.
- Knead for an additional 2-3 minutes. If the dough starts to stick to the sides, it needs more flour, just a tablespoon at a time.
- Cover with towel and let it rest in a warm, or draft free place. Dough should rise and be doubled within 2 hours. It will take longer to rise in cold conditions.
Notes
To assemble pizza:
After dough has risen, sprinkle some flour on a clean work surface. Roll out the pizza dough to preferred size. Carefully move to pizza pan (or simply roll it on your pan!). Add toppings, and bake in a 450 oven for approx 20 minutes.
