Easy Pizza Dough

Directions

1. 1
   Add the cup of warm water into the bowl of your mixer.
2. 2
   This recipe is forgiving so just dont make the water scalding hot, you dont want to kill the yeast.
3. 3
   Put the yeast in and let it dissolve for about a minute.
4. 4
   Add honey, salt and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and mix.
5. 5
   Feed the yeast baby!
6. 6

7. 7
   Put the dough hook attachment on your mixer and slowly add flour into the yeast mixture on a low speed until the dough isnt sticking to the bowl.
8. 8
   It should all be stuck on the hook when its ready, and just slightly sticky.
9. 9
   Then let the dough knead for about 5 minutes on a medium speed.
10. 10
    Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the bowl and move the dough around to coat it in oil, so it wont stick.
11. 11
    Let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour.
12. 12
    (Dont worry about being specific on time Ive let it rise anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours and it still turns out).
13. 13
    It should have grown quite a bit, slightly less than double its size.
14. 14
    Punch it down (let that aggression out)!
15. 15
    Stretch out the dough on a cookie sheet!
16. 16
    Feel free to toss it, but I am pretty uncoordinated so Ill leave that to you!
17. 17
    Top it with your favorite pizza toppings and bake in a 400 F oven for 15-20 minutes!
