Pizza Dough
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 packet yeast
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour, either wheat or white or a combination
Toppings
1 cup arugula
1 cup asparagus, chopped into 1 inch pieces
1 blood orange, zested and then peeled, segments chopped into 1/2 inche pieces
1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons toasted almond slivers
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 tablespoon honey

1
In a large mixing bowl, place warm water and sprinkle yeast into it. Add salt and honey and stir. Slowly add flour and using bread hook, begin to mix. Keep adding flour until dough is smooth-though not too dry! It's ok if it's a little sticky.
2
Cover dough and place in a warm, draft-free place for about an hour.
3
When the dough is doubled in size, stretch it out, gently rolling it from time to time-you don't want to roll too much as it breaks down the integrity of the dough.
4
If you're using a pizza stone, take it out of the oven and place the dough on top. If you're using a pizza tray or cookie sheet, place the dough on top.
5
Drizzle honey on top of dough.
6
If you're using a pizza stone, place it in a 500 degree oven while dough is rising, about 1 hour.
7
Remove stone from oven, (or use pizza tray or cookie sheet) and place dough on it. Drizzle honey.
8
Place arugula, asparagus, and orange pieces on dough. Arugula will wilt down. Place the ricotta cheese in dollops around the pie, then the mozzarella and almond slivers. Finish with zested orange peel. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 500 degrees

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
