Best Homemade Pizza Dough

I use to always buy the pre-made pizza dough. I had several people tell me how easy it was to make pizza dough. Once I started working with yeast and making bread I finally decided I should try it. It really is very easy to make at home. You can make it whenever you feel like pizza and don't have to worry about running to the store to get dough.



What You Need
Makes one 14 inch pizza

1 ¼ tsp Dry and Active Yeast
1 ½ tsp Honey
¾ cup Warm Water
2 cups Flour
½ tsp Sea Salt
1 tbsp Olive Oil


 
What To Do

Step 1: In a medium bowl gently mix the warm water, yeast and honey. Let set for 5-10 minutes until dissolved and starting to bubble.
 

Step 2: In your mixer bowl add flour, salt and olive oil. Add the yeast/water/honey mixture. Mix until the dough comes together. Add a little more flour if the dough is too wet and add a little more water is ehe dough is too dry.

Step 3: Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 mins or let you Kitchen-aid knead the dough for 3 mins (I do this step by hand).


Step 4: Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Spray the top of the dough with a little oil. Cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 45 mins or until double in size.
 

Step 5: Punch the dough to remove the air. On a lightly floured surface  roll out dough into circle (roughly 14 inches in diameter).


Step 6: Transfer pizza crust onto a floured baking sheet. Cover with a light coat of olive oil and let rise again for about 20 mins.

Step 7: Top with your favorite toppings. Bake at 400°F for 10-15 mins. Enjoy!
