Panago'S Basic Homemade Pizza Dough - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine the warm water (not too hot or you'll kill the yeast), honey and yeast until dissolved.
Leave for 5 - 10 minutes unti lthe yeast activates and the mixture develops a layer of froth on the surface.
In a large bowl, mix the sea salt and flour and make a well in the center.
Add the yeast and olive oil.
Mix together , then use your hands until the dough comes together.(I did this step in my kitchenaid.).
Tip the dough onoto a lightly floured surface and knead until th edoor is smooth, shiny and elastic (about 5 - 10 minutes) or allow the kitchenaid to do this.
If the dough is too sticky or soft, add a little extra flour or if it's too dry and crumbly, add a little water.
Shape the dough into a round ball and place in a large, oiled bowl.
Cover with a damp cloth for roughly 45 minutes or until the dough doubles in size.
Punch down the dough to remove the air and place it on a lightly floured work surface.
Divide in 2 and shape each piece into round disks.
Place the dough balls on a sheet of parchment.
Cover with a light coating of oil and let them rise again, for about 20 minutes.
Dough is now ready to add whatever toppings you like and cook.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for approximately 10 minutes. Keeping an eye on it until the cheese browns and the crust looks done.
