Pizza

Making my own pizza is a regular dinner event. I usually make the trek to Whole Foods to buy the organic thin pizza crusts, which are wonderful. The problem is, when you open the bag to make a pizza with one of the crusts the other one becomes moldy overnight. This happened to us the other night, so I decided to make my own crust from the Barefoot In Paris cookbook. The Whole Foods thin pizza crust's days are numbered. This seems like a much better deal.

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups warm (100 to 110 degrees) water
2 packages dry yeast
1 tablespoon honey
Good olive oil
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading
Kosher salt

Place three cups of flour in the mixture first, and then pour in the remaining cup in slowly. I found that I didn't need to use most of the fourth cup. The crust should remain smooth.
