Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (100 degrees F.)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or granulated sugar)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, fitted with the dough hook, mix the warm water, honey, oil, yeast and salt. Add the flour gradually until a soft dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. (The dough should be soft and smooth. You can add up to another 1/2 cup of flour, but no more than that.)
- Knead the dough for 3 minutes in stand mixer.
- Cover dough with a kitchen towel and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Shape and flatten dough out onto a greased pizza pan or greased baking sheet. Top evenly with your favorite sauce and pizza toppings.
- **If using a pizza stone, place stone in the oven while it preheats. Shape the dough out onto a large circle on parchment paper. Then carefully transfer the pizza dough onto a pizza peel that is dusted with flour and cornmeal. Top dough with pizza sauce and toppings, then carefully slide pizza onto the stone and bake.
- Bake pizza at 450 degrees F. for 12 to 14 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and edges of crust are a nice golden-brown. Carefully remove from oven. Allow pizza to stand and cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
