Knead and Rest: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 5 minutes. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for at least 15 minutes to allow the gluten to relax. (22 minutes)

Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough to the prepared pizza pan. Use your hands to gently press and roll the dough to fit the pan. For a thinner crust, spread the dough to the edges. For a thicker crust, use a smaller pan or double the recipe. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the dough to prevent it from puffing up too much during baking. (8 minutes)

Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and slightly crispy. Keep a close eye on it to achieve your desired level of crispiness. (10 minutes)
For a richer flavor, try using buckwheat honey.
To add depth, consider incorporating a tablespoon of olive oil into the dough.
This dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Allow it to come to room temperature before shaping and baking.
Experiment with different herbs and spices, such as rosemary, oregano, or garlic powder, to customize the flavor of the crust.
If you prefer a sweeter crust, increase the amount of honey to 2 tablespoons.
