Create the perfect pizza dough at home with this easy-to-follow recipe, ensuring a delicious base for your favorite toppings.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, honey, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and garlic powder.
Sifting the flours can help combine them evenly and remove any lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yeast mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Add the flour mixture in small increments to avoid overloading the wet ingredients.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour onto the surface.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
A warm oven (turned off) can serve as an ideal rising spot.
Punch down the dough and divide it into two portions. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Resting the dough allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and let it rest for 20 minutes before adding toppings.
For a crispier crust, roll the dough thinner.
Preheat your oven to 450°F and bake the pizza with your desired toppings for 15-20 minutes.
Using a pizza stone preheated in the oven can help achieve a crispy base.
