Crispy, chewy, saucy, cheesy yumminess!
Calories: 2117kcal
Ingredients
- 1 package ¼ Oz. Packet Dry Yeast
- 1 cup Warm Water
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2-½ cups All-purpose Flour
- ½ cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil Divided
- 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt Divided
Prepare your pizza toppings of choice:
- Green Pepper
- Onion
- Black and green olives
- Pizza sauce
- Shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together yeast, warm water, and honey. Let rest until yeast blooms and bubbles form on top, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour, ¼ cup olive oil and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead until dough is smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let rest in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Remove dough from bowl and press it into a lightly oiled 9- by 13-inch baking sheet until it touches the edges. I used two round deep dish clay Pampered Chef pans, one small and one large as we wanted a thicker deep dish crust. Using your finger, poke holes all over the dough. Drizzle the dough with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Let rest until the dough becomes puffy, about 20 minutes.
- Top with pizza sauce, meat, vegetables or just shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake until the pizza is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a rack. Cut into pieces and serve.
