By á-47

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons yeast
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese
• 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pour warm water into a bowl.
2. Add the honey and salt. Mix until well blended.
3. Add the yeast and mix some more. Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes.
4. Add 1 cup of flour and the olive oil and mix until well blended.
5. Add the rest of the flour, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and mix well. The dough should turn into a ball. If the dough does not ball up because it's too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it does. If your mixture is more like a batter, add flour one tablespoon at a time. Adding water or flour as needed to get the right consistency will assure you always get a perfect dough. Just remember to do it in small amounts.
6. Once the dough is balled up, place the ball on a floured board and knead for about a minute. Place the dough in a plastic grocery bag or a covered bowl and store in a warm, dry area to rise.
7. After about 45 minutes the dough should have about doubled in size. Punch it down to deflate.
8. Let it rise for another hour to an hour and a half. The dough is now ready to be rolled out. You can punch the dough down one more time if you want and wait another hour or two before rolling out. The choice is yours
9. Makes 2 medium sized pizzas.
