Pizza

So here is an old recipe that I've had for many years.  Homemade Pizza dough.  It's taken me that long to perfect it actually.  For a few years I kneaded the dough by hand and then I was watching Martha Stewart one day. 
Don't judge me. 
Yes, Martha Stewart changed my pizza making days forever by introducing the KitchenAid Mixer to basic pizza dough.  It made ALL the difference in the world! 
It's really quite simple and requires some time to let the dough rise but it's worth it and last night it was off the chain!
So here it is.

Basic Pizza Dough
2 cups all-purpose flour
1pkg rapid rising dry yeast
1/2 tsp. salt

2/3 cup very warm water
1Tbl olive oil
1Tbl honey

If you have a mixer it's really much better but if not you can knead it by hand too.  Anyways, add the first 3 ingredients into the mixer.  Combine the water, oil, and honey separately then add to the dry ingredients.  Using the hook attachment mix all of those things on a high speed (about 30 sec.) until the dough is stretchy.  Then knead the dough into a ball and let rise for 30-45 min.  Sometimes it helps to add a little olive oil to your hands when you knead it.  It keeps it from sticking to ya. :) 

After it's done rising I roll it out onto a round pizza stone with my hands pushing it out to the edge.

Then just spread on some pizza sauce and top it with whatever you like.  I just used cheese last night. 

Bake at 425 degrees for about 15-20 min and there you have it. :) 

Not a slice was left.
