Create a delicious and versatile pizza dough at home with this easy-to-follow recipe.
In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, honey, olive oil, and cool water. Stir until well mixed.
Mixing the ingredients thoroughly ensures even distribution of flavors.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
Combine the yeast mixture with the honey mixture in a large bowl.
Mix gently to avoid spilling the liquids.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, to the liquid mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it comes together.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Kneading develops the gluten, giving the dough its structure.
Place the dough in a buttered bowl, cover, and let it rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Covering the bowl with a damp cloth helps retain moisture.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a ball.
Shaping the dough into balls makes it easier to roll out later.
Preheat your oven to 450°F with a pizza stone inside for at least 10 minutes.
A preheated pizza stone ensures a crispy crust.
Roll out each dough ball into a circle and add your desired toppings.
Dust the rolling pin with flour to prevent sticking.
Bake the pizza on the preheated stone for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Rotate the pizza halfway through baking for even cooking.
