Ingredients

  • 1 cup / 237 g Warm water (95–110°F / 35–43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons / 24 g Active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons / 42 g Honey
  • 1 teaspoon / 6 g Salt
  • 3 ½ cups / 438 g Wheat flour
  • ¼ cup / 54 g Olive oil

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, mix warm water, salt, oil, and honey. Start off with extra-warm water so that it is still at the proper temperature for yeast.
  2. With the honey and salt fully dissolved, stir in the yeast and set aside for 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 cup of flour and stir completely.
  4. Keep mixing in flour until dough begins to form a ball and is not sticky.
  5. Now knead dough thoroughly for a minute then cover bowl with lid.
  6. Let rise 1 hour. Then punch dough down. Let dough rise again for 1 ½–5 hours.
  7. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C)—add 20 minutes if using a pizza stone.
  8. At this point, the crust can be frozen for later use or used immediately. To freeze, place entire cookie sheet in the freezer. When it is frozen, remove crust from sheet, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and return to freezer.
  9. When ready to use crust, add desired toppings.
  10. Bake 15–25 minutes.
