Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon honey {or sugar}
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon olive or canola oil
  • 3 cups bread flour give or take ½ cup

Instructions

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the water, yeast and honey. Set it aside for 5-10 minutes or until the yeast starts to froth.
  • Sift in half the flour, the salt and the oil and mix using the dough hook until combined.
  • With the motor running, slowly add the rest of the flour until the dough is the consistency that you can tough it without it sticking to your fingers (I used 3 cups).
  • Turn the mixer to high and set a timer for 6 minutes. Let it knead the whole time.
  • Take the dough out of the bowl and shape it into a ball. Oil the bowl and put the dough back and then spray the dough with a little oil.
  • Cover and let it sit for 1-2 hours or until it has at least doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it in half.
  • Shape into a pizza and coat with toppings.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200C (392F) fan-forced for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden.
  • Un-cooked dough can be frozen. Wrap in plastic wrap and then a ziplock bag.
