Ingredients
-
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
3/4 cup warm water
-
1 teaspoon honey or sugar (optional, for slight sweetness)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, preheat it as well. -
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. -
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, mix together warm water, olive oil, and honey (if using). -
Make the Dough:
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon or your hands until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Add more flour if it’s too sticky or more water if it’s too dry. -
Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic. -
Roll Out the Dough:
Roll the dough into your desired shape and thickness (about 12 inches in diameter for a standard pizza). Transfer it to a greased baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone. -
Pre-Bake the Crust:
Bake the dough for 5-7 minutes in the preheated oven until lightly golden. Then add your desired pizza toppings and bake for another 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown. -
Serve:
Remove from the oven, slice, and enjoy your homemade pizza!
