Mom's Best Pizza Dough

My family makes pizza all the time, so we've perfected the dough. Easy and delicious, and works great with a pizza stone.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups of flour
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 3 tablespoons of oil
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 cup hot water (about as hot as the sink will get)
  • 1 yeast packet
  • Pinch of sugar
Tools:
  • Mixer (or food processor)
  • Rolling Pin
Steps:
  1. Add yeast to water, and activate with a pinch of sugar. Once the yeast has settled down, mix it with the rest of the ingredients in the mixer. Once the dough has formed a ball, watch it rotate around the mixer 30 times.
  2. Set dough aside and cover with a napkin or (clean!) dish towel. Let sit until it has doubled in size. Once the dough has risen, you can freeze it for several days, or use it immediately.
  3. Roll dough into circles (1 batch makes about 2 large pizzas or 4 smalls) and add toppings. Bake at 450* for 9 minutes.
  4. Enjoy!

* If you're using a pizza stone, heat up the oven to 500°, then reset it to 450.
