How to Make No Fail Pizza Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (240ml) hot water, 2 1/4 teaspoons (7g) active dry yeast, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  2. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup (60g) whole wheat flour.
  4. Add 1 cup of the flour mixture, along with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon garlic powder, to the yeast mixture.
  5. Mix by hand until a shaggy dough forms.
  6. Gradually add the remaining flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, kneading the dough after each addition until it becomes smooth and slightly tacky (you may not need all the flour).
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  8. In a large mixing bowl, add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  9. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat with the oil.
  10. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1-1.5 hours).
  11. Gently punch down the dough and divide it into two equal balls for two 8-inch pizzas, or keep it as one large ball for a 16-inch pizza.
  12. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
  13. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape. Let it rest for 20 minutes to allow the crust to rise slightly before adding toppings.
  14. Add your favorite pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese.
  15. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) with a pizza stone (or pizza pan) on the lowest rack for at least 30 minutes.
  16. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone (or pan) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
