Wolfgang Puck's Pizza Dough

1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon honey
1 1/4 cup water, divided 1/4 cup and 1 cup
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil

1. In a small bowl dissolve yeast and honey in 1/4 cup water. Let sit for a few minutes.

2. In Kitchen Aid with dough hook, combine flour and salt. Add oil, yeast mixture and 1 cup water. Mix on low speed for about 3 minutes, or until dough sticks on the hook.

3. Cover with a towel and let rise for 30 minutes*. Pull into 2 balls and let rise again for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.

4. Roll out and cook for 10-12 minutes.

Can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.

*Alternative method: Let the dough rise for 30 minutes. Then roll out dough and let it rise again on the pizza pan for another 30 minutes. This makes the crust a little taller and not as dense.
