How to Make Homemade Pizza Dough
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and honey or sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
  2. Gently stir in salt and olive oil. Gradually incorporate half of the bread flour, mixing until lumpy.
  3. Continue to add remaining flour until the dough is sticky but manageable, pulling away from the sides of the bowl.
  4. Knead on a floured surface for about 6 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Lightly grease a bowl and the dough, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
