Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 TBSP Yeast
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • 1 cup Warm Water (110 Degrees F)
  • 2 1/2 cups Unbleached Flour
  • 2 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

  • Whisk yeast, honey, and warm water together in a bowl. Cover and let it stand about 10 minutes. It should be frothy, like the first picture. See how much the yeast loves honey? Sugar can also be used.
  • Stir in flours, salt and oil. I do this with my dough hook in the Kitchenaid but you can kneed it by hand.
  • Move dough to a floured surface, cover with a towel, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Now you can either use your dough as is or if you have a few more minutes, shape it and let it sit again for another 5 minutes or so to let it develop a little more flavor.
  • Bake your crust in the oven at 450 degrees until it starts to brown, then add your ingredients and continue to bake until the cheese is melted.
