sugar)• 2 Tablespoons oil• ¼- ½ teaspoon salt• 3 to 4 Cups flour

Step 1: Making the Dough

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 1 Tablespoon of yeast into 1 cup of very warm water- (stir it to dissolve)

• Let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes so that the yeast can start to ferment/bubble

• Then stir well

Add remaining ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon of honey• 2 Tablespoons of oil• ½ teaspoon of salt• Half of the flour -2 cups

Use an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds

• Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula

• Beat on high for 3 minutes, stirring in as much of the remaining flour as you can

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.

• Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total)

Divide dough in half

• Cover and let rest for 10 minutes

FYI- If it is after 1:30, skip this step, you are out of time, and your crust will just be thinner, but have no fear

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees

Slicing Mushrooms

• 1. Gently wipe away dirt from the mushrooms.

• Use a damp paper towel or a dish towel.

• 2. Cut off the mushroom stems.• The stems typically aren’t eaten.• 3. Place the mushroom caps, flat-side

down, and slice them perpendicular to the cutting board.

• This technique gives you strips of mushroom at whatever thickness you cut them.

• 4. If you want smaller pieces of mushroom, slice the caps again at a 90-degree angle from the original slices.
