Basic pizza dough

Sometimes we need basic recipes, like basic pizza dough. Here is a simple dough recipe with easy directions and links to some of our favorite pizzas.

1. In a medium-size mixing bowl mix warm water and yeast.
2. Slowly add honey, mix gently.
3. Next, add 1 cup of flour and salt then gently mix.
4. Add the next cup of flour to the mixture and slowly knead the dough.
5. Form the dough into a small ball and tightly cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
6. Put the bowl in a warm area and let it rest for about an hour
7. Remove the dough and knead for a few minutes.
8. Put it back in the bowl and let it rest for another 1/2 hour.
9. When you’re done it’s time to make pizza, see our fig and prosciutto pizza or our barbq chicken pizza.

Cooking note: Sometimes the dough can stick like crazy to the sides of the bowl. So sometimes I use a little oil to grease the sides.
