Ingredients
for the dough-
- 1 cup warm water aim for 107-110° F
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups bread flour give or take 1/2 cup, depending on the heat & humidity
for the pizza-
- ½ cup pizza sauce or as much as you like
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese freshly grated
- ½ cup pepperoni I used thinly sliced
- any other pizza toppings your little heart desires
- Italian seasoning to taste
Instructions
for the dough-
- In a large bowl, preferably that of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, stir yeast and honey into warm water. Sit for 5-10 minutes or until bubbles form and mixture starts to foam. This tells you that the yeast is alive and kicking.
- Pour in salt, olive oil and half the flour - and mix. Once that flour is incorporated, start adding flour in bit by bit until you get the pizza dough to the consistency you want: slightly tacky, but when you touch it, it doesn't stick to your hands.
- Once you reach this stage, knead on low for 6 minutes. The dough should be smooth and easy to work with. And the bowl should be mostly clean!
- Lightly grease the bowl & the dough so it doesn't dry out, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Once pizza dough has risen, remove from bowl and set on a clean, lightly floured counter.
for the bubble pizza-
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Cut pizza dough into quarters and then each quarter into 8, so you end up with 32 small dough pieces. Arrange randomly on baking sheet, in a circle - leaving about 1/4-1/2 inch between each dough piece so they have room to expand.
- Spoon and spread pizza sauce over dough, top with cheese, pepperoni, and any other toppings you'd like. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Bake 15 minutes or until the dough is cooked completely (especially in the center!) Serve warm.
- To eat, use your fingers (or a fork) to "pull-apart" the individual "bubbles" of pizza. So fun!
