Ingredients:
3 to 3 & 1/2 cups of bread flour (I use King Arthur flour)
1 cup of warm spring water
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
2 tablespoons of honey
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of molasses
1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 packet of yeast
Mix the water (warm), salt, honey and molasses together. Once blended, then mix in the yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so the yeast can do it’s thing.
Then mix in the olive oil and 1 cup of flour. Once that’s blended in well, mix in the rest of the flour. Add a little more water if needed. It should turn into a ball. Knead it for a few minutes, form into a ball.
Place the ball in a bowl coated with olive oil, cover w/damp cloth and let it rise for a few hours (until it doubles in size).
Then pound it back down, knead it. Form into a ball, cut it in half for two medium sized pizza doughs.

We bake it on a stone (with a sprinkling of cornmeal) at 450 for 15 minutes. Also, I usually make two pizzas at once, bake one and freeze the other. With the frozen one, I bake it on the stone at 350 for about 30 minutes.
