Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup wine ๐ท
- 3/4 cup warm water ๐ง
- 1 tablespoon sugar ๐
- 1 tablespoon honey ๐ฏ
- 1 tablespoon olive oil ๐ซ
- 1 teaspoon salt ๐ง
- 2 tablespoons water ๐ง
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour ๐พ
Instructions:
-
Activate the Yeast:
- In a bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water and wine. Allow it to sit for approximately five minutes, until the yeast begins to bubble.
-
Prepare the Salt Mixture:
- Dissolve the salt in 2 tablespoons of water, ensuring it’s fully incorporated.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Stir honey and olive oil into the yeast mixture until well combined.
- Add one cup of flour to the mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until it forms a thin batter.
-
Incorporate Salt and Water:
- Stir in the salt and water mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
-
Add Flour:
- Incorporate 2 cups of flour gradually, stirring until you can no longer mix in any more flour with the spoon.
-
Knead the Dough:
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for approximately 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and shiny. It may be slightly sticky, which is normal.
-
Allow Rising:
- Spray a bowl with oil and place the dough inside. Spray the top of the dough with oil and cover it with plastic wrap.
- Allow the dough to rise for 45 minutes or until it doubles in volume. The warmer the area, the quicker the rise. Optionally, punch the dough down after the first rising and let it rise again for enhanced flavor and texture.
-
Divide and Rest:
- Once risen, divide the dough into portions based on your preference. You can make 4 individual pizzas, 2 small pizzas, or one large pizza.
- Roll each portion of dough into rounds and let them rest for 15 minutes before shaping and topping with your favorite ingredients.
