Notes

  • If you want to make this recipe vegan, you can substitute the honey for your favorite vegan sweetener. I.E. Barley malt syrup, agave, etc.
  • We used a high-gluten flour for this recipe. If you use a traditional bread flour, you may need to decrease the water.
  • You can also par bake this crust to have for later.
  • Don’t wanna make pizza or don’t have time the next day? Don’t worry! After the final mix, you can place the dough back into the fridge until needed.
