Ingredients

1/4 cup light red or white wine, Fiano di Avellino
3/4 cup warm water
1 1/2 ounces fresh yeast
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
3 1/2 cups flour

Directions

Place wine, water and yeast in a large bowl and stir until dissolved. Add the honey, salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil and mix well to combine. Add 1 cup of the flour and mix with a wooden spoon until it becomes a loose batter. Add 2 more cups of the flour and stir for 2 to 3 minutes, incorporating as much flour as you can with the wooden spoon.

Bring the dough together by hand and turn out onto a floured board or marble surface. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes, until dough is smooth and firm. Place in a clean, lightly-oiled bowl, using remaining tablespoon of oil and cover with a towel. Let rise in the warmest part of the kitchen for 45 minutes.

For individual pizzas or calzones, cut the dough into 4 equal pieces and knead into rounds. For one large pizza, knead into 1 large round. For either, let rest for 15 minutes.

excellent dough
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Had to make this after all the reviews referring to this Don person. The pizza dough is great, and well proportioned... ingredients that work well. I did use dry yeast with no problem. Also, another twist instead of wine, I sometimes use flat beer (boil it and cooled ) like Sam Adams and that is really good as well. Thnak you for a great recipe!!!Read more

Delicious Dough Mario!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've been experimenting with several different pizza dough recipes... trying to find a really great one, and then I came... across this one. IT IS DELICIOUS!!!! It will be my "go to pizza dough" from now on! The flavor of the dough is wonderful...great texture and flavor...doesn't taste floury (if that's a word!)! You must give it a try! You won't regret it!

Dear DON from TUSCON
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It surprises me with all of your "experience" that you still cannot read a recipe. This recipe works great if you follow it,... and by that I mean actually read the recipe DON. To everyone else out there, this recipe is great! The fresh yeast can be a bit tricky to find but using dry yeast will also give great results. The honey and wine really make this stuff good! And one more thing DON, for calling other people snobs, you sure do sound pretty snobby yourself. Read more

First Time Dough Maker
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

While I love to cook and am very good at it, this was my first experiment with making dough and it turned out... beautifully....and yes DON from TUSCON, I followed the recipe exactly....1/2 cup of the flour is for rolling and kneading, not for the actual dough. My fiance and I loved the flavor and the consistency along with crispiness were awesome!Read more

Just another rave review
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Had my husband help me make this dough--easy to put together with dough hooks on my mixer. We both agreed the results were... exceptional. Don't hesitate to try it.Read more
