A good pizza dough recipie?!
1 cup warm water (between 95° and 115° F.)
2 T yeast (2 tablespoons, I like my dough a little yeasty. You can use less)
2 T honey
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
Pour warm water into a bowl. The water should be about 85 to 115° F. Test it with your hand. It should feel very warm, but comfortable. Add the honey and salt. Mix on low until well blended. Add the yeast and mix. Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of flour and the olive oil and mix until well blended. Add the rest of the flour (and any other additions) and mix well. The dough should turn into a ball. If the dough does not ball up because it's too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it does. If your mixture is more like a batter, add flour one tablespoon at a time. Adding water or flour as needed to get the right consistency will assure you always get a perfect dough. Just remember to do it in small amounts.
Once the dough is balled up, place the ball on a floured board and knead for about a minute. This builds the gluten which helps the dough to rise and become fluffy when cooked. Place the dough in a plastic grocery bag or a covered bowl and store in a warm, dry area to rise.
After about 45 minutes the dough should have about doubled in size. Show it who's boss and punch it down. That's right, give it a good smack so it deflates. Let it rise for another hour to an hour and a half. The dough is now ready to be rolled out. You can punch the dough down one more time if you want and wait another hour or two before rolling out. The choice is yours.
You're now ready for the next step: Rolling out the dough!
This dough can also be made in advance and refrigerated for a day or so, or even frozen. Be sure to let it come to room temperature before using.

This dough can also be made in advance and refrigerated for a day or so, or even frozen. Be sure to let it come to room temperature before using.
180 g plain white flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried yeast
1 Tbsp olive oil
120 ml warm water
--------------------------------------...
Sieve the flour
--------------------------------------...
Step 3: Make the dough
In the medium bowl, combine the salt, yeast and . Make a hole in the centre, add the olive oil and warm water and mix in well. Give it a quick, final mix by hand to create a rough paste.
--------------------------------------...
Step 4: Knead the dough
Remove the dough from the bowl and place onto the chopping board. Knead the dough for roughly 3-4 minutes, using the heel of your hand. Keep kneading until it has formed a smooth ball.
--------------------------------------...
Step 5: Leave dough to rise
Transfer the dough into a large clean bowl, cover with some cling film, and leave it to rise for approximately two hours or until it has doubled in size.
--------------------------------------...
Step 6: Roll the dough
Uncover the bowl and sprinkle the dough with flour. Remove it from the bowl and place onto a flat surface. Sprinkle some more flour over the dough and roll it into a circle. Dust with flour again, turn it over and roll the other side.
Flour the base of the circular baking tray. Place the dough over the tray and push it outwards into a rustic circle.
If you aren't going to bake it straight away, it needs to be wrapped in cling film and kept in the fridge, for a maximum of 24hours.
Below are links to several Ive tried and liked. But I dont use the same one twice I like seeing if theres better out there then what I have tried.Sadly to make my own I cheat and use the canned dough or buy from my local pizzaria. Im not a good bread maker..lol.
Pizza Dough
1 package active dry yeast
2 1/4 cups of flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup warm water (110 - 115 degrees)
1 teaspoons salt
Pinch of sugar
In a small glass bowl, combine yeast, warm water and sugar. Let stand for 8 to 10 minutes or until it is bubbly. Meanwhile in the bowl of a food processor, using the cutting blade, combine together the salt, 2 cups flour and cornmeal. Stir the bubbling yeast mixture. With the food processor running slowly add the yeast and the olive oil. Process until well combined and a ball forms, about 1 2 minutes. Using the remaining 1/4 cup of flour lightly dust a flat surface, knead the dough for about 2 minutes. Place dough into a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let dough sit for approximately one hour and fifteen minutes or until it has doubled in size
