Instructions
- This step is to help the yeast bloom. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the lukewarm water, honey, and yeast. Stir until the mixture starts to foam up, about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gram flour, salt and olive oil. Add in the foamed-up yeast mixture and mix until everything is well combined.
- Once the dough has come together, knead it for 8-10 minutes on a floured surface. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky but still manageable. If needed, add in more flour if the dough is too wet or more water if it is too dry.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside in a warm place to rise for 2-3 hours. The dough should double in size during this time.
- Once the dough has finished rising, divide it into two equal pieces and shape into balls. Cover each ball with a slightly damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
- After the dough balls have rested, roll each one out into a thin circle and place onto a floured baking sheet. Top with desired toppings, such as tomato sauce, cheese, pepperoni, or vegetables.
- Bake at 400℉ for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, brush the edges of the dough with olive oil before baking.
- If you’d like to give your pizza a smoky flavor, grill it instead of baking it in the oven.
- To make sure your pizzas come out perfectly round, use a large round plate or cutting board as a guide when rolling out the dough.
- If you’re having trouble with sticking, sprinkle some cornmeal on your rolling surface before laying down the dough.
