Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Whisk 1 cup flour, water, honey, and yeast together in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and mixture is bubbly, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Stir remaining 2 cups flour, olive oil, and salt into yeast mixture. Beat mixture in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, adding more flour as necessary, until a soft and tacky dough forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Place dough into an oiled mixing bowl, cover the bowl with a plate, and let rise until doubled in volume, 90 minutes.
Step 3
Punch dough down and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Divide into four equal balls. Cover each ball and let rest until dough rises slightly, 30 to 45 minutes. Roll into desired shapes and thickness, then top and cook as directed in your pizza recipe.
