*Basic Pizza Dough Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive
  • 2-3 cups bread flour
Instructions

  2. Then add in the salt, oil and 1 1/2 cups flour. Mix using dough hook.
  3. Once well combined, add additional flour 1/2 cup at a time until slightly tacky, but doesn’t stick to your hands.
  4. Turn on medium to knead for 6 minutes. Then side of the bowl should be clean and the dough should be smooth.
  5. Remove the dough from the bowl. Spray the bowl with non-stick spray. Add the dough back to the bowl and turn once to get both sides coated with the non-stick spray.
