    Katie's Notes: I love the combination of sweet and savory which is why I think pears are the perfect "sweet" to this, otherwise savory, pizza. If pears are out of season, dried figs are a nice substitute...

Serves 1 pizza

  1. Make the dough: Combine the water, yeast, honey and 3 T. olive oil in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a dough hook. When the yeast is dissolved, add 3 cups of flour and 1 tsp. salt. Mix on medium speed to form a soft dough; about 10 minutes. Add up to 1/2 c. more flour while mixing to keep dough from sticking to sides of bowl (the crust comes out best when the dough is sticky and not loaded down with flour so I try to use as little of the extra 1/2 c. flour as possible). Once dough is formed, knead by hand a couple of times then put in oiled bowl and cover with kitchen towel. Let rise for about 30 minutes.
