Pizza

I made this dough this evening for the first time, and it turned out pretty well -

1 cup warm water... .2 T Honey............½ tsp salt
2 T yeast...................3 ½ Cups Flour...¼ cup olive oil

Combine water, honey, salt, yeast, 1 cup flour; mix well.

Add olive oil and remaining flour, mix until a ball forms.

Put on floured counter, knead for 5 minutes

Put in covered container in warm place, let rise for 90 minutes

Punch down, let rise again for 45-60 minutes.

Preheat oven to 475; if using pizza stone, put it in the oven.

Divide into two parts, flatten each into thick disk.

Flatten each disk to about 8 inches wide and ¼ inch thick (rim should be thicker)

Just before baking, apply toppings

Bake for 12-15 minutes
