ingredients

  • 3 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 Tbsp agave
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsp agave

instructions

  • Combine water, yeast, honey and olive oil in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Stir to combine and let sit until nice and foamy, approximately 10 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups of flour, salt, garlic powder, dried basil and dried oregano. Turn on the mixer and knead until it comes together. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead in the remaining 1/2 cup of flour slowly until the dough is no longer sticky (you might not need to use all of the flour here). Knead for a couple minutes. Add the dough to a bowl that's been greased with olive oil. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Once the dough is ready, roll it out onto a flour surface and, using a rolling pin, work it into your desired form. Create a crust by rolling in the edges slightly, if desired, pinching to close.
  • Stir to combine the melted butter, garlic and agave for the honey butter topping. Brush the entire crust with the butter, reserving about 1 to 2 Tbsp of the melted butter for later. Make your pizza as desired with whatever sauce, cheeses and toppings you love.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is all melted.
  • Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining honey butter (you might have to nuke the butter for 15 to 20 seconds if it firms up on you). Serve immediately.
