My mom gave me this pizza dough recipe and it has changed my life.  We make a lot of pizza around here, and I usually use whole wheat flour.  I don't know why nobody told me sooner that bread flour makes it way better.  Not healthy, true... but way better!  Make it!

4 C bread flour
1 t salt
1 1/4 C hot water
2 1/2 t yeast
a squirt of honey, or some sugar (maybe a tsp?)
2 T olive oil

Here's what we've loved for toppings so far:
equal parts mozzarella and fontina cheese (fontina is expensive, but SO worth it)
fresh corn and and red onion, cooked for a few minutes with some olive oil
tomato
fresh basil

Do it with or without sauce, or pesto instead of sauce...you can't go wrong.  But DO try this:
olive oil (2ish T), balsamic vinegar (1ish T),  dijon or stone ground mustard (1/2 tsp), and salt and pepper.  Those measurements are very approximate--sorry.  Adjust it to your liking.  Drizzle it over the pizza right before serving.  So good.

Heat oven and pizza stone to 500 degrees.  Combine hot water, yeast, honey (and/or sugar), and olive oil.  Mix salt in with the flour and add wet ingredients.  Knead, then let rise 1 1/2 hours.  Pat into 3 discs, let sit for 10-15 minutes.
Roll one of the discs out super thin and place it on parchment paper.  Drizzle with olive oil and a little cheese.  Place on pizza stone (with the parchment) and bake a few minutes, until cheese is melted.  Take it out and add your other toppings, and then bake a few more minutes until it's bubbly.
