This is basically the same as Martha Stewart's recipe. Just throwing it down (and up) to have it on here so I don't have to keep converting the yeast measurement, etc., preparation method. Ok, well, it's actually not so much like Martha's, but I did look at her recipe for quantities before changing it completely. Makes two medium/large pizzas.
Ingredients:
1 Tbs instant yeast (or 2 packets)2 Tbs honey
1/4 Cup olive oil
2 Tsp kosher salt
4 Cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 Cups warm water
Method:
In a medium glass jug or bowl, mix the honey into the warm water, then stir in the yeast. Let rest until the yeast begins to puff up like dough in the jug. Meanwhile measure the flour and mix in the salt. When the yeast mixture is ready, pour oil and yeast mixture into the flour and gently mix until it forms a shaggy, sticky dough.Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until the texture is even and smooth (just a few times). Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until the dough doubles in size. (About one hour.)
When the dough has risen, punch it down and divide in two (or more if you want to make individual pizzas.) Knead a couple of times, then roll out or toss in the air to stretch the dough to the desired size.
