In our house we LOVE homemade pizza! This is my favorite dough recipe, and since it makes two round crusts I usually make a garlic pizza out of the second one, this is our favorite recipe...
Basic Pizza Dough
1 c. warm water
1 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. oil
3 c. flour
2 tsp. salt
2 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast (I use instant yeast)
I layer liquids, then flour, then yeast and salt in my bread machine, turn it onto dough cycle and walk away for an hour.
-If you don't have a bread maker: In a large mixing bowl stir yeast and honey into warm water, let sit for 5-10 minutes, until bubbles start to form and it starts to foam. Pour in salt, oil and 1/2 of flour and mix. Once incorporated, start adding flour bit by bit until you get a slightly tacky but doesn't stick to your hands consistency. Knead ~6 minutes, then put in lightly greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap, let stand 1-2 hours.-
Roll out dough into 2-12 inch circles, top with desired toppings. Bake at 500 for ~10 minutes.
Garlic Bread Sticks
1/2 recipe Basic Pizza Dough
2 Tbsp. butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced (or less depending on your garlic tastes)
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
1/2 c. mozzarella cheese
salt & pepper to taste, optional (I just sprinkle with pepper)
(If you have a pizza stone: heat with oven). Mix butter and garlic in a bowl. Spread butter mixture over rolled out dough, top with cheeses and sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired. Bake 9-10 minutes, remove from oven and allow to sit a minute or two before slicing, enjoy!
