Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 450 degrees. Then coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with cooking spray, dusted with flour. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together water, honey and yeast. Let mixture stand for a few minutes, covered with a dish cloth, until slightly frothy/puffy.
  • Slowly add the flour (my favorite), olive oil and salt, mixing ingredients together with a large spoon until a soft dough forms. Roll dough into a ball and refrigerate for 5 minutes.
  • On a clean surface, sprinkle some flour and use a rolling pin to roll dough to desired thickness. The pizza dough shape can be round, oval or a completely uneven blob! Keep sprinkling bits of flour if the dough sticks to the rolling pin or surface.
  • Add toppings, place pizza onto baking sheet or pizza pan, and bake on the top rack for 12-15 mins. Note: Our favorite tomato sauce is Don Pepino.

Notes

🍕 Let pizza sit for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with salad or extra veggie toppings on the side.
🍕 We used the toppings that our kids like, but whatever you like, go for it! Had it been completely my decision, I would've added sliced mushrooms and red onions.
🍕 To make this as healthy as pizza can be, we recommend using whole wheat flour and a low-fat mozzarella.
