Easy Homemade Pizza Dough
942kcal
Ingredients
- 15 ounces 00 flour or all purpose flour or roughly 3 ⅓ cups with the scoop and sweep method
- 1 teaspoon dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 10 fluid ounces water
- 1-½ teaspoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
Method
- Combine the yeast, honey, warm water, and half the flour in a large mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides as needed
- Cover the bowl and let the mixture rest for 15 minutes. For a faster rise, place a glass of boiling water in the microwave, then set the covered bowl inside with the microwave off. The trapped steam creates an ideal environment for the yeast
- Once bubbly, add the remaining flour, salt, and one tablespoon of olive oil. Knead by hand or with a stand mixer for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic
- Brush a clean bowl with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place the dough inside and turn once to coat the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for one hour or until doubled in size
- Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently stretch to roughly fit a 12x16 inch parchment-lined baking sheet. If the dough snaps back, cover with a towel and rest for 10 minutes before trying again
- Add toppings and bake according to your pizza recipe
