Pizza!

Ingredients
Water + honey + yeast + olive oil + salt + flour

Directions
1. Mix one cup of water (filtered is best at room temp) with 1 tablespoon of honey until the honey is dissolved in a small bowl.
2. Add 2 teaspoons of yeast. Mix and let sit for about 10-15 minutes
3. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil + 1 tablespoon of salt and mix thoroughly
4. While the water mix with honey and yeast is sitting for ten minutes put 3 cups of flour in a bowl
5. Move the water mix to a large bowl. Add 1/2 of flour* at a time and whisk with a knife until mostly dissolved. Use your hands when it's not too watery.
6. Add more water to the dough or flour if needed. Then move the dough to a flat surface and knead for 10-15 minutes. Don't cut this short.
7. Rest the dough for 15 minutes with a towel on top, then knead briefly.
8. Now you can refrigerate or freeze as one dough or divided into individual sizes in zip lock bags. Add oil to the bowl/dough so it won't stick.

Fridge okay for 2 days or freezer for 1 month. 
9. Take out form the fridge 1 to 1.5 hrs before using it. Rest it with a moist towel to prevent it form getting dry on top and flour underneath so it won't stick.  Add some flour on top and then roll it out to a pizza.
10. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 minutes; turn half way through.

*You can make this dish gluten free if you use brown rice flour instead of regular flour.
