Soft pizza dough

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 2 and 1/4 cups premium flour + more as needed
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• Extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation:

1. Add honey and yeast to 1 cup of warm water. Stir until completely dissolved. Let the mixture sit for 3 minutes to ensure the yeast is active; the mixture should foam and bubble.
2. Place the flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the yeast mixture and mix on low speed until the dough begins to come together. Increase the speed to medium and mix for 8 minutes. The dough should begin to pull away from the sides of the bowl but still be soft and slightly sticky to the bottom. Add an additional 1 tablespoon of flour if needed.
3. Grease your hands with olive oil and form the dough into a ball. Place the dough in a bowl greased with olive oil. Cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until it doubles in size.
4. Punch down the dough and cut it into 4 equal pieces if making small pizzas, or simply reshape it into a ball if making one large pizza, and let it rest for another hour.
   
   The dough is ready to use.
