Basic Pizza Dough

Info
Prep Time: 10 min
Waiting: 1 h
Portions: 2 x 35 cm (14 po) pizzas
Source: Ricardo Cuisine

What You Need
1 1/4 cups water, warm
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey 

2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons instant dry yeast 

1/2 teaspoon salt

Make It
In a bowl, combine the water, oil, and honey. Set aside.

In a large bowl, with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer (using the dough hook), combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the water mixture and stir until a soft ball form. Knead the dough for about 3 minutes on a floured work surface or in the stand mixer.

Place the dough in a clean and lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let rest in a warm and humid place for about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size. 



My Comment
I wait at least 5 hours for my dough size to increase. I use my dough the same day instead of putting it in the freezer.
