Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Parchment Paper
  • cookie/baking sheet
  • measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ½ tsp active dry yeast
  • 3 to 4 cups flour slowly add flour until dough is not sticky to the touch
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 ⅓ cups warm water
  • 1 tsp cooking oil
  • cup mayonnaise optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375℉
  • Gently mix together warm water, active dry yeast and honey. Allow yeast to bloom.
  • Add 2 cups of flour to your yeast mixture.
  • Add in your salt.
  • Then add in the remaining flour until your dough is not sticky to the touch. Knead dough until it becomes well formed. Shape into a ball.
  • Add cooking oil to a bowl and place your dough ball in the bowl. Cover the dough ball in oil to keep it from sticking.
  • Cover bowl and allow to rise while you prep your other ingredients. 10 minutes minimum.
  • Place parchment paper onto cookie sheet and spread out your dough evenly. I like to use my hands. Dimples in the dough are fine!
  • Once dough is spready out evenly, I like to add a thin layer of mayonnaise ,
  • Add remaining pizza toppings.
  • Baking in middle rack for 15 minutes or until the bottom of the crust is a golden or toasted brown.
  • Let cool, slice and enjoy!
