Easy Pizza Dough

Langkah-langkah

1. Dissolve honey and yeast in ¾ cup warm water in a large bowl. Let stand 5 minutes or until it begins to bubble. Add 2 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture; stir until a soft dough forms.

2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes (or use dough hook on your stand mixer); add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel slightly sticky).

3. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover with a clean dishtowel and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If the indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.)

4. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle (about ¼-inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Place dough on a rimless baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim. Lightly spray surface of dough with cooking spray, and cover with plastic wrap. Place the dough in refrigerator for up to 30 minutes.

5. To prepare pizza immediately, preheat a baking sheet or baking stone in the oven (on lowest rack) to 500 degrees F. Remove plastic wrap from the dough; discard and brush 2 teaspoons olive oil on the dough. Use spatula to slide dough onto preheated baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Then spread sauce and desired toppings onto the pre-baked crust. Move to the middle rack and bake for about 10 more minutes, until crust is golden & cheese melts.
