Triple-Rising Pizza Dough Recipe

• In a small bowl, add the dry yeast and honey to the warm water and set aside. You will see the yeast start to bubble.
• In a large bowl, combine the salt, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil with 2 cups of the flour.
• Stir in the yeast.
• Add 2 more cups of flour in 1 cup increments, forming a ball as you go. The dough will be slightly sticky.
• On a lightly floured work surface, knead the dough until smooth (about 4 minutes) adding more flour as needed.
• Place dough in a bowl and lightly rub it with olive oil.
• Cover with a towel and let rest for 1 hour.
• Uncover and punch down using your fist. Let rise for another hour.
• Dust your work surface with a thin layer of flour and knead dough for another minute or until you can easily handle.
• Cut into two pieces, rolling each one out to about ¼ inch thickness.
• Brush your pizza pans with melted butter before placing the dough.
• Let rise on pizza pan for an additional hour (oh the patience! But you won’t be sorry!).
• Bake at 500° for 10 minutes or until your crust is evenly browned and the cheese is bubbly.
