Roy's Basic Pizza Dough


Roy's Basic Pizza Dough
3/4 tsp yeast
3/4 c. warm water
1 tbsp honey
2-2.5 c. flour
pinch salt
2 tbsp olive oil


Sprinkle yeast over the water, add honey and whisk. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Add yeast mixture to flour in a large bowl. Mix and then knead until the dough looks smooth and satiny, transfer to a lightly oiled bowl and cover til doubled in bulk (45 minutes). Divide into 4, knead each portion 1 or 2 minutes, then shape into balls. Let rest for 15 minutes. Roll out into 6-7" rounds with slightly raised edges.
Preheat oven to 425.
Add toppings, and bake for 15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.

Note: I like to quadruple the recipe and freeze partially baked shells for easy homemade pizza nights. Rating: A+
