Total Time 1 hour 41 minutes
Serving Size 1 large pizza dough

Ingredients

  • 1 cup very warm water
  • 1 tablespoon active yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 cups flour

Instructions

  • Pour the warm water into your mixer bowl.
  • Sprinkle the yeast, sugar and honey on top.
  • Let the yeast water sit for 5 minutes. Then mix until everything is dissolved.
  • Add oil, salt and Italian seasoning.
  • Add 2 1/2 cups of flour.
  • Add the dough hook to your mixer and mix on speed 2 (low) until combined.
  • If dough is sticking to the bowl add 1/4 cup of flour at a time. Let it combine and add more flour if needed until dough is no longer sticking to the sides.
  • When it's no longer sticking to the sides let it continue to mix on low for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Take about 1 teaspoon of olive oil to a large bowl and rub all the sides with the olive oil to coat.
  • Place the dough in the oiled bowl and let it rise until doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
  • Preheat your pizza stone and oven to 465 degrees.
  • Roll out your dough on a floured surface to a 12" round size. If you like a thin crust you can make 2 pizza crusts from this recipe.
  • Add your toppings.
  • Bake for 11 minutes.
  • Let it cool about 10 minutes before cutting.
