Quick & Tasty Pizza Dough

Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup wine (light red or , rose wines also work well)
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 (1/4 ounce) packet dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cups flour

Recipe

• 1 heat wine and water together in a small pot until they reach 110 degrees f.
• 2 in a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water/wine mixture and allow to proof for 5 minutes (if you're using instant yeast skip the mini-proof and move immediately to step 3).
• 3 add 1 cup of the flour, the honey, the salt, and the olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir until a loose batter forms.
• 4 stir in the rest of the flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough leaves the sides of the bowl and can be formed into a slightly tacky ball (you may not need all of the flour).
• 5 bring the dough together and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, around 10 minutes.
• 6 place the dough in an oiled bowl, turning to coat both sides, and cover with a towel. allow to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes, until doubled in size.
• 7 bake either in an oiled pan or on a pizza stone at 500 degrees f, keeping a close eye on your project. because pizza crusts will vary in size and thickness you'll need to judge whether or not your pizza is done by sight.
