PIZZA DOUGH



instant yeast packet 
4 cups bread flour 
2 tablespoons garlic salt
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 cups water, warmed to 110º
2 tablespoons olive oil
sauce & toppings

In a stand mixer combine yeast, flour, garlic salt, onion powder and honey.  Turn mixer on and slowly pour in water and oil.  Mix until dough comes together into a ball.  *If dough seems too sticky add a tablespoon of flour, if it seems too dry add a tablespoon of water.  Lay dough on lightly floured counter and gently knead into a ball.

Place dough ball in a greased bowl and cover with saran.  Allow to double in a warm spot.  About 1 hour.  Lay dough on lightly floured counter and divide into two.  Allow dough to rest for 10-30 minutes while you preheat oven to 500º

Lay parchment paper over pizza peel or similar surface.  Pick up dough ball and manipulating it around in a circle allow it to gently stretch from center out.  When it is as stretched out as you can get it, lay it on parchment paper.  If your crusts edge is still too thick, stretch it out until desired shape and thickness.

Sparingly spread sauce out onto dough and top with cheese and toppings.  Brush crust edge with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt.  Bake for 15-18 minutes.

Use a pizza rocker to cut pizza - amazing tool!
