For the dough: Combine water, yeast, honey and olive oil in a bowl and mix.

Dough should be sticky at this point.

Let the dough rise for about 1-1.5 hours.

Once the dough has risen punch it down a bit and then place on a floured surface and roll out the dough (with hands or rolling pin or both) so it fits a medium to large pizza pan.

Pre-cook your dough on the grill for a few minutes (pop any bubbles that form), until the bottom is crisp.

Take dough off the grill and add the pizza sauce to the dough (dont drown the dough in the sauce, it always looks like you do not have enough on the pizza, but you do).
-
