Instructions
Dissolve the honey and yeast in ¾ cup warm water in a large bowl. Let stand 5 minutes or until slightly bubbly.
Spoon flour into dry measuring cup and level with a knife.
Add 2 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture and mix until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes, adding enough of the remaining flour a small amount at a time to prevent dough from sticking to your hands. The dough will feel slightly sticky.
Put the dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray. Turn dough over to coat top with oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°) 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450°.
Roll dough into a 12-inch circle about ¼ inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
Move dough to a lightly oiled pizza pan and crimp edges to form a rim.
Prick dough all over surface with a fork and lightly oil with olive oil.
Bake for 5-10 minutes or until dough is “set” but not cooked through. Remove from oven.
Top the pizza dough with a light layer of sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and provolone cheese. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or basil/oregano and arrange pepperoni on top. Sprinkle Parmesan on top.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
