3 to 3 1/2 c. unbleached all purpose flour
1 pkg. dry yeast
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. hot water
2 tsp. honey
1 tbsp. olive oil

In large bowl of electric mixer combine 2 1/2 cups of flour, yeast and salt. Stir to blend ingredients thoroughly. In a small bowl combine hot water, honey and oil stir to blend well. Add water mixture to flour mixture. Beat at medium speed until smooth and elastic. Stir in about 1/2 cup more flour to make a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a floured board. Knead until dough is smooth and small bubbles form just under surface. Add just enough flour to keep dough from being sticky. Turn dough in a greased bowl cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in warm place until doubled 30 to 40 minutes. Punch dough down. Cover with inverted bowl and let rest for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease 14 inch deep dish pizza pan 2 inches deep. Roll out dough on a floured surface to about a 14 inch circle. Fit dough into pan, using your hands. Press it against sides of pan. Cover with sauce, Mozzarella cheese and whatever you like. Bake 25 to 30 minutes on lowest rack until crust is golden brown.
