Homemade Pizza Crust
How to make easy, homemade pizza crust
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 packet instant dry yeast
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups water lukewarm
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients (flour, yeast and sea salt) in a bowl.
- Mix the honey in the water. Then, add the honey-water mixture and 2 tablespoons of the oil and mix, then knead until the dough forms into a smooth, solid ball. The ball should be soft but firm. If it’s too hard, add more water. If it’s too runny and overly sticky, add more flour.
- Grease a large bowl with the remaining olive oil.
- Add the dough and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Allow it to double in size. This usually takes me 45 minutes – 1 hour.
- After it has risen, knead the dough a bit more on a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Cover both pieces with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes.
- Add toppings and bake pizza in an oven on a pizza stone at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, or until the crust browns and cheese thoroughly melts and bubbles. Instead of a pizza stone, you can also use a cast iron pan or a metal pizza pan. Personally, I prefer the outcome of pizzas made on my pizza stone.
