Pizza Dough



This has become one of my favorite things to make...but I have to give most of the credit to Adam because he has really perfected the art of homemade pizzas.

1 cup hot water
1 yeast packet
1 tablespoon honey
Salt, pepper, herbs to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups flour

Mix hot water, yeast and honey in small bowl and let rest in order for the yeast to activate, about 10 minutes. Add salt, pepper, herbs and olive oil. Slowly add flour, kneading till all flour is incorporated. (At this point we start to use our food processor with dough hook). You don’t want the dough to be sticky (if so add more flour) or falling apart (if so add more water). Pat dough ball with olive oil, cover in with towel and let rise 30 minutes.

Split dough in two halves. Roll out flat and cover with olive oil. Best if baked on a perforated pan or baking stone.

Add toppings as desired. Our favorite pizzas are roasted veggies and margherita (basil, mozzarella & tomato).

Makes 2 pizzas
