Ingredients
Water
3/4 cup (warm)
Honey
1/4 teaspoon (or substitute with sugar)
Active Dry Yeast
2 1/4 teaspoons (bloomed in water)
Bread Flour
1 3/4 cups (or see note for alternative)
Olive Oil
1 teaspoon (for dough)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon (mixed in dough)
Instructions
1
In a small bowl, combine warm water and honey. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and allow it to bloom for about 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes foamy.
2
In a medium bowl, mix together the bread flour, olive oil, and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until the dough begins to come together.
3
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead vigorously for about 2-5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels sticky, dust your hands with flour and continue kneading until it reaches the desired consistency.
4
Prepare your baking surface by greasing a pizza pan or baking sheet with cooking spray.
5
Divide the dough in half for two 8-inch or 9-inch pizzas, or use as one 12-inch base. Press or roll out the dough to fit your prepared pans.
6
For an immediate pizza, top the rolling dough with your choice of sauce, cheese, and toppings, then bake.
7
If preparing crusts ahead, bake the plain rolled-out dough in a preheated oven at 500°F (260°C) for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
8
Allow baked crusts to cool on a rack before freezing them for future use. When ready, top with sauce and toppings and bake briefly at the same temperature until everything is hot and melty.
