4 cups bread flour (makes for a crispier crust, but all purpose works too!)
2 cups warm water (helps activate the yeast)
1 packet of dry activate yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 glob of honey
1 tablespoons olive oil
sift the bread flour and sea salt into a large mixing bowl
combine warm water, yeast and honey together, make sure everything is dissolves into the water.
make a little well in the flour to pour some of the water potion into. gradually pour all the water in the mixture.
stir with hands until everything makes a nice big ball of dough. if too sticky, add flour, if too dry, add water. do this in very small amounts.
knead with floured hands and surface for 10 to 12 minutes.
drizzle the olive oil in another very large mixing bowl. put that little ball of dough in there!
cover with either plastic wrap or a clean damp cloth in a warm, non drafty place. i like using the oven and preheating it to super low, then turning off.
let it rise for two hours. optional: separate into thirds and let rise for another hour.
this kind of dough likes to be cooked at 500 degrees with all your fave toppings. it also works the best as a personal size pizza!!!
enjoy!
