This really is the perfect Pizza Dough recipe when you have to get dinner on the table in a hurry.
This crust has a nice bit of crunch. It’s the perfect backdrop to whatever toppings you want to layer on top. One of my favourite toppings are potato, and without sounding dramatic it’s probably one of the best pizzas you will ever have!

INGREDIENTS
1 cup warm water (about 110°C)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon dry instant yeast
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups all purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large bowl or the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add the warm water, honey, oil, salt, and sprinkle the yeast overtop. Let it sit for 5 minutes and allow it to bloom. There should be a foamy later on the top of the liquid mixture in the bowl.
If using a stand mixer turn it on low and slowly add the flour until a soft dough forms and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. NOTE: Use your fingers and touch and the dough. The dough should feel soft, smooth and not sticky.
Continue to knead the dough for 2-3 minutes longer. NOTE: If kneading by hand or if using whole wheat flour, continue to kneed 5-6 minutes longer.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit until doubled in size, 1-2 hours.
Remove the plastic wrap and punch the dough down and place the it onto the center of your prepared sheet pan. With your fingers, begin to press the dough to the sides of the pan. If your dough resists and won’t cooperate, let it rest for a bit. Your dough should eventually cover the entire pan. If holes develop, simply pinch them together.
Continue with pizza toppings of your choice and bake in a preheat oven 425°F for 20-30 minutes.
