Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110 degrees)
  • 1 packet (2-1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast)
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil (plus 1 teaspoon for oiling the bowl)
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour (plus more if needed)

Instruction

  • In the bowl of your mixer add the 1/2 teaspoon of honey.
  • Pour in 1 cup of warm water [115-120 degrees] and whisk. Sprinkle in the packet of yeast and let it sit and get all puffy.
  • Pour in a half teaspoon of olive oil, a half teaspoon of kosher salt and a cup of the flour. Mix adding the rest of the flour gradually.
  • Keep mixing until the dough pulls easily from the sides of the bowl. Add more flour if necessary, a couple tablespoons at a time.
  • Add a splash of olive oil to a large, clean bowl.
  • Form the dough into a ball and place it into the bowl. Toss the dough ball around and up the sides of the bowl to coat.
  • Cover with a towel and let the dough rise for an hour or until doubled in size.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch the dough down until deflated. Lightly flour a work surface and the dough ball and reshape it into a ball.
  • Using your fingers press the dough out into your desired size to fit your grill or pan. I use a cutting board that so I can transport the pizza dough to the grill and so it will slide of easily.
