Preparation
Step 1
Prep Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 2 1/2 hrs
In a cup dissolve 1 pack of yeast in 4 tablespoons of warm (but not hot) water. Allow to proof (sit) for 10 minutes.
In another cup, mix together 12 tablespoons of cold water, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of honey.
Add the wet ingredients (cold stuff first) to 3 cups of flour and mix (I sometimes use a food processor, but you can use your hands.) Allow the dough to rise. Personally, I make the dough the night before I need it, put it in the refrigerator overnight, and let it rise the next day (all day.) But as long as you let it rise at least 2 hours, it should be OK.
Don't roll out dough - squishes the bubbles, makes the dough denser and tough. Pull and stretch gently with hands.
If you use a pizza stone, preheat it for 45 minutes before, and leave in turned-off oven until cool after.
Par-bake the crust before topping!
Cook on as high a heat as possible.
