Ingredients

1 1/4 cups warm water (110°F to 115°F)

1 Tbsp. honey

1 (1/4-oz.) envelope active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 tsp.)

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling

2 Tbsp. olive oil, plus more for greasing

1 tsp. kosher salt

Directions

Gather ingredients.

In a large bowl whisk together water, honey, and yeast until well combined. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Add flour, oil, and salt to the bowl. Stir together until a shaggy dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. If the dough is too tacky while kneading, add more flour, a teaspoon at a time. (Avoid adding too much flour, as this will create a dry dough). The dough is ready to rest if when poked it slowly contracts back.

Lightly grease a large bowl with additional oil (you can reuse the one you mixed the dough in). Transfer the dough to the bowl, coating the top with additional oil. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise somewhere warm until doubled in size, about 90 minutes.

Preheat oven to 500°F. Gently punch down dough and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Divide dough in half. (Freeze one half now, if you only want to make one pizza). Roll each half into a 12-inch circle. Lightly pinch the edges to form a lip. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza pan. Let rest for 10 minutes. Top with sauce, cheese, and desired toppings.

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
