Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups warm water, between 100-100 degrees F
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 packets active dry yeast, or 4½ teaspoons
- 4½ cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
For the pizza sauce
- 15 ounce can of tomato sauce
- 6 ounce can of tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Put a baking sheet in the oven upside down and set the heat to 500 degrees F. Tear off 6 pieces of parchment paper big enough for a pizza.
- In a medium bowl, combine water, honey, olive oil and yeast. Whisk to combine and set aside for 10 minutes for the yeast to bloom. It should have a layer of foam on top after 10 minutes.
- While yeast blooms, add flour and salt to a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Pour yeast mixture on top and mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Dump the dough out on to the counter and knead by hand for 5 minutes, adding a sprinkling of flour if the dough is sticking to your hands.
- Form dough into a loose ball and put it back into the mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let it rise for 35-45 minutes, until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, make the sauce. Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a small bowl and set aside.
- Once the dough is risen, punch it down and then divide it into 6 equal portions. You can do this by cutting the dough in half and then cut each half into thirds.
- Spread a small amount of olive oil on your counter and roll out each ball of dough to your preferred thickness. Transfer dough to a piece of parchment. Add sauce and desired toppings.
- Transfer the pizza to the oven on the parchment paper and set it on the hot upside-down baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and the crust is lightly browned.
