Pretty Simple Pizza

Step 2 Knead the dough

Start by preheating the oven to a low setting.

Mix the flour, olive oil for the dough, honey and yeast together in a big bowl. Stir them up with a spoon.

Slowly add water (since our yeast is the easy kind it doesn't have to be warm), and mix with the spoon. 2/3 of a cup is enough for now.

Once the dough stops being a gooey mess you can shove your hands in it without making your hands all sticky. Don't be tempted to add too much water - the excess flour will slowly dissolve too, while kneading, and you usually only need a little bit more. Most of the flour that get wet will be absorbed, and then you can just wet your hands every once in a while instead of adding more water to get to the right amount.

For me the most effective way to knead is to press down with my weight till the dough is a thick disk, and then fold and repeat, in a sort of rolling motion.

After a few minutes, the dough should be smooth. It should not stick to the hands but it shouldn't feel dry either.
