Combine the warm water, yeast, and honey in a mixing bowl. Stir until they are well mixed. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil. Stir to combine. The dough will be wet and sticky, but it will come together!
Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface. Have extra flour nearby, as you may have to add some more (one tablespoon at at time) if the dough is too sticky.
Knead the dough for 8-9 minutes until it has a tacky, smooth texture. “Tacky” means that it should feel slightly sticky when you touch it, but it shouldn’t stick to your hands.
Place the dough ball in a lightly oiled mixing bowl and cover with a clean, damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Let the dough rise for 30 minutes in a cozy, warm place ** until it is nearly doubled in size. Punch the dough down, then remove it from the bowl.
Use your hands to gently stretch the dough into a 10″-12″ pizza crust, leaving the edge of the crust a little thicker to form the crust. Lightly flour a baking sheet, then gently transfer the pizza crust to the baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 475 F, then top the pizza crust with your favorite sauce and toppings.
Bake the pizza at 475 for 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Notes
*Warm water is ideally 90-105 F.**If you don't have a warm place in your home, preheat the oven to 350 F for 2 minutes until it's warm, then turn the heat OFF and place the bowl in the oven. It should stay warm enough to help your dough rise!
