What I found was a post from a guy named Mitch on his "fabulous" website. Note: this recipe is not that recipe. +I've made this recipe dozens of times, and while the secret ingredient is the same as Mitch's, what follows is my spin on the old classic. + +## Tools +* Bread-Machine with a 'dough' cycle. +The bread machine mixes the ingredients, and gives some heat to encourage the dough's rising. It does this in 90 minutes. I've been using the Oster 5834, picked up for $6 from a thrift store, which is designed to make a 2 pound loaf. With a little ingenuity, you can replicate what this gadget does, but I won't be covering that here. + +## Ingredients +* Flour: use white flour, or bread flour. Don't use whole-wheat flour. +* Oil: extra virgin olive oil is best. +* Honey: if it's become hard, you may need to warm it up so it can be poured. +* Warm water: not hot, not cold, not room-temperature (well, depending on the room). +* Yeast: not dead (check the expiration date). Regular yeast or bread machine yeast is fine. "pizza dough yeast" will yield stickier dough. +* Salt (make sure it hasn't lost its saltiness). + +## Quantities +This makes 2 large pizzas (thick crust). It will fill the bread machine, possibly even squishing against the window of the bread-machine, depending on the current climate. +* 7 Cups of Flour +* ¼ Cup of Oil +* About ¼ Cup of Honey +* 2 Cups of Warm Water +* 1 teaspoon-ish of salt +* 1 packet of yeast + +## Instructions +* Add water and oil to bread machine. +* Add flour to bread machine. +* Add honey around flour. +* Add salt around flour. +* Make an indentation in the flour with your finger and pour the yeast into it. +* Close lid and set bread-machine on 'dough' setting. +* Start bread-machine. +* After about ten minutes, look in to see if there's a lump of dough.
