Homemade pizza dough 🍕🤌🏼
Ingredients
* 3 cups flour
* 2 teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast
* ½ tablespoon (1 glug) olive oil
* ¾ teaspoon (2 large pinches) kosher salt
* 1 ⅓ cups warm water
* Extra flour
Instructions
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine all ingredients, except extra flour.
2. Using the dough hook from the mixer, stir until a loose dough forms.
3. Once the dough forms into a ball, allow the mixer to knead for 7 minutes at medium-high.
4. After the kneading is finished, using floured hands and surface, divide the dough into two balls. Gently shape dough ball into a boules and freeze one of them for next time. Dab the one left out with a little bit of olive oil to keep moist.
5. Place one dough ball back in mixer bowl. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and allow to rise for 1 hour.
6. Once dough has risen and you’re ready to make pizza, pick up the risen dough and gently shape it into a circle. Do not over-work or fold the dough. Drape the dough over both of your knuckles and rotate it around, allowing gravity to stretch it into a circle.
7. Sprinkle flour onto a pizza peel or rimless baking sheet. Place the stretched dough onto the peel and quickly add toppings.
8. Transfer to pizza stone in the oven (my preferred method for a perfect crust)
9. Cook at 475° for 5-7 minutes until browned. Once finished, drizzle honey on top of the pizza — my secret ingredient — trust me on this!! So good 🤤
