Quick & Tasty Pizza Dough - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup wine (light red or white, rose wines also work well)
3/4 cup water
1 (1/4 ounce) packet dry yeast
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups flour

Preparation

Heat wine and water together in a small pot until they reach 110 degrees F.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water/wine mixture and allow to proof for 5 minutes (if you're using instant yeast skip the mini-proof and move immediately to step 3).
Add 1 cup of the flour, the honey, the salt, and the olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir until a loose batter forms.
Stir in the rest of the flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough leaves the sides of the bowl and can be formed into a slightly tacky ball (you may not need all of the flour).
Bring the dough together and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, around 10 minutes.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, turning to coat both sides, and cover with a towel. Allow to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes, until doubled in size.
Bake either in an oiled pan or on a pizza stone at 500 degrees F, keeping a close eye on your project. Because pizza crusts will vary in size and thickness you'll need to judge whether or not your pizza is done by sight.
