Homemade Pizza Dough

My family started making homemade pizza regularly on Saturday nights! My boys love the pizza part, and we add in a fun movie night after. It has been a big hit! This pizza dough takes minimal ingredients, and time. Also, I have FINALLY figured out the perfect temperature to make the pizzas just golden. The recipe make 2 large pizzas, mine are usually a 9X12 rectangle shape.

Homemade pizza dough

What you need:

2.5 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1 cup warm water

1 TBSP dry active yeast

1 TBSP raw honey

Optional:

1 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp oregano

What to do:

Mix the water, yeast, and honey in a small bowl.

Let set for 5 minutes.

Mix flour, salt, and seasonings in a kitchen aide mixer with paddle.

Add in water mix.

Hand knead for about 5 minutes.

Place dough in bowl, cover with plastic wrap about 20 minutes.

Divide dough in half, and form the shape desired.

Add sauce, and toppings of choice-favorites of ours are fresh mozzarella, shredded cheddar cheese, pepperoni, prosciutto, arugula, red onions, olives, etc

I love to use leftover meat like brisket, or meatballs!

I switch between red marinara sauce, and homemade white sauce-coming soon!

Bake your pizza at 550 degrees Fahrenheit, yes that hot.

Bake about 12 minutes, rotating half way through and checking as cooks
