homemade pizza, the picture doesn’t do it justice
The Easiest (and Best) Pizza Dough In The World
1 packet yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
cornmeal

Preheat oven to 400F. In a large bowl, combine the yeast and warm water and stir until the yeast dissolves. Add the flour, salt, honey and olive oil; stir to combine using first a wooden spoon then your hands. Let dough rest for 10 minutes. 
Sprinkle baking sheet with cornmeal and press dough into it to your desired thickness. Top with your toppings (I used thick tomato sauce, hot italian sausage, and freshly grated mozzarella cheese) and bake for approximately half an hour or until crust is golden, toppings are heated through and cheese is bubbly.
