Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F with a rack in the upper third of the oven.
-
Whisk water, honey, oil, and yeast in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl. Allow yeast to proof for 5 minutes. It should puff up some by then.
-
Pulse flour, Parmesan, and salt in a food processor until combined. While running the food processor, slowly pour in the water mixture and process for about 1 minute until shaggy ball forms.
-
Dump the dough onto a floured work surface and quickly knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Halve the dough.
-
On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll dough into two rounds about 11 inches in diameter. For best results, roll the dough out about as thin as reasonably possible.
-
Carefully lift and transfer one of the rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the outer 1-inch of the dough with a light coating of olive oil.
-
Add half of the pizza sauce or crushed tomatoes with the liquid squeezed out as much as possible. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and any other desired toppings.
-
Bake on the top rack until the crust and cheese are lightly golden, about 10 minutes for cheese pizza and 12 minutes for pizza with additional toppings.
-
Repeat with the remaining dough, then slice and serve. Leftover pizza will keep well in the refrigerator for about 4 days.
