Categories     Easy/Medium

Time P1DT10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 cups warm water (105-110˚F)
1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp honey
1/2 Tbsp fine sea salt
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together water, honey, and salt then sprinkle the top with 1/2 tsp yeast and let sit 5 minutes then stir.
  • Measure 3 1/3 cups flour in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Pour yeast mixture into the center then stir with a firm spatula until the dough comes together. Knead by hand 2 minutes (dough will be sticky). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature 4-5 hours or until doubled in size.
  • Transfer dough to a floured surface, turn to coat lightly in flour so it isn't sticky then divide in half. Fold each piece of dough in half 8 times, gently pulling the sides over the center like closing a book, turning the dough each time and repeating for 8 folds. Form a ball in your hands and transfer each piece of dough to a lightly oiled bowl seam-side-down, cover and refrigerate overnight (18 hours) or up to 1 week.
  • PREP: Remove the dough 1 hour before using to let it relax and come to room temperature. Before forming the pizza crust, fully preheat your oven so pizza can be baked right away. Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet onto the center rack of the oven and preheat to 550˚F. Also, lightly flour a pizza peel and prep toppings.
  • When dough is about room temperature and oven is preheated, transfer 1 piece of dough to a floured surface, turning to lightly coat in flour. Pat the center of the dough gently with fingertips. DO NOT pop any bubbles present.
  • Lift the dough over both knuckles and roll your knuckles under the center of the dough, working outward as you rotate the dough along your knuckles and leaving a thicker crust at the edge. Continue working the dough until a 10-12" pizza has formed. It will shrink slightly so make it a little bigger than you think. Place the dough down on a lightly floured pizza peel. Give the pizza peel a little shake to make sure the pizza slides over it and is not sticking.
  • Spread on desired pizza sauce and toppings. Give the pizza another jolt to make sure it slides on the pizza peel (you don't want it to stick while transferring it into the oven). Slide pizza onto the preheated pizza stone and bake at 550˚F for 8-10 minutes or until crust is golden brown and some of the larger bubbles on the crust are lightly scorched to ensure a crisp crust.

PIZZA DOUGH



Pizza Dough image

Provided by Food Network

Time 3h25m

Yield dough for 4 small pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package active dry or fresh yeast
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup warm water, 105 to 115 degrees F
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup warm water.
  • In a food processor, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and process until the mixture forms a ball. (The pizza dough can also be made in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low speed until the mixture comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and starts to climb up the dough hook).
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).
  • Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.

PEPPERONI PIZZA WITH HOT HONEY



Pepperoni Pizza with Hot Honey image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h55m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Sheet-Pan Pizza Dough
1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, drained
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon hot honey, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
12 ounces whole-milk mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 3 cups)
1 1/2 6-ounce logs pepperoni in natural casings, sliced 1/8 inch thick
1/2 cup sliced hot pickled cherry peppers, drained

Steps:

  • Make Sheet-Pan Pizza Dough. During the final rise, put a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 500˚ for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce: Put the tomatoes in a medium saucepan and break them up with your hands or a wooden spoon. Add the olive oil, garlic, oregano, hot honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring often and crushing the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Continue to simmer, crushing the tomatoes, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons parmesan over the dough. Sprinkle the mozzarella on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Spoon the tomato sauce over the top. Top with the pepperoni and cherry peppers.
  • Put the baking sheet directly on the hot stone and bake until the crust is browned around the edges and the pepperoni is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons parmesan over the pizza. Let cool slightly.
  • Loosen the edges of the pizza with an offset spatula, then loosen the bottom. Slide the pizza onto a cutting board; cut into squares. Drizzle with hot honey.

HONEY PIZZA DOUGH (AWESOME)



Honey Pizza Dough (awesome) image

This is Wolfgang Puck's recipe, and we love it. If you don't have honey, just use sugar. We've found that this makes some of the best dough we've ever had.

Provided by Mole1338

Categories     Breads

Time 1h46m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (or 1 package)
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup warm water, 105 to 115 degrees
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (might need to add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4-cup warm water (100-110 degrees).
  • In a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour and the salt. (can do by hand with spoon if you don't have a mixer).
  • Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 C water, mix on low speed until dough comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and clusters around the dough hook, about 5 minutes.
  • If the dough is still sticky, then simply add a bit more flour until it pulls cleanly away from the hook.
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes.
  • The dough should be smooth and firm. Place in lightly oiled bowl an cover with plastic wrap.
  • Let sit for about 30-45 minutes. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).
  • Take dough out of bowl and divide into either 2 or 4 balls, depending on whether you want 2 large pizzas or 4 small.
  • Work each ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times.
  • Cover the dough with a damp towel (I just use plastic wrap, loosely fitted) and let rest 15 to 20 minutes.
  • At this point, the balls can be used or wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • To make pizzas, I stretch out onto greased pizza pan, top with sauce and toppings, and bake at 450 degrees for 12-16 minutes, until done. (smaller pizzas will take less time, so keep watching it)
  • I usually slide the pizza off the pan for the remaining 2 minutes to crisp it up a bit.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 c warm water
2 pkg active dry yeast (2 tablespoons)
5 c bread flour
1/4 c olive oil
1 1/2 c cool water
2 tsp salt
2 or 3 Tbsp honey

Steps:

  • 1. Stir yeast into warm water until dissolved. Let stand. In a large bowl of mixer with paddle add flour, cool water, salt, oil and honey -stir in the yeast mixture.
  • 2. Knead with dough hook for about 5 minutes, or by hand for 7 minutes. Place dough in a large greased bowl; cover with clean towel- allow to rise 30 minutes.
  • 3. Punch down and divide into 16 pieces(for individual pizza) or (4 pieces for 16 inch pizzas). Coat each ball of dough in olive oil- wrap in plastic wrap or in freezer ziploc bags and freeze.
  • 4. To Use: Remove from freezer the night before(8-12 hours) using. Allow to thaw in fridge. Let rise until double in size, then punch down and make pizza or pizzas. Very soft dough and freezes well!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality honey for the best flavor. Look for raw, unfiltered honey with a strong floral aroma.
  • Proof the yeast before using it. This will help ensure that it is active and will produce a light and airy dough.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour and make the dough strong and chewy.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to produce carbon dioxide gas, which will create air pockets in the dough and make it light and fluffy.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature to get a crispy crust. The ideal temperature is around 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Top the pizza with your favorite toppings and enjoy! Some popular toppings include cheese, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and onions.

Conclusion:

Honey pizza dough is a delicious and easy-to-make alternative to traditional pizza dough. It is made with a combination of honey, water, yeast, flour, and salt. The honey adds a subtle sweetness to the dough, while the yeast produces carbon dioxide gas which creates air pockets in the dough, making it light and fluffy. Honey pizza dough can be used to make a variety of pizzas, from classic cheese pizzas to more creative pizzas with unique toppings. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced pizza maker, honey pizza dough is a great option for your next pizza night.
