1To a bowl add the warm water, honey and olive oil.
2Mix until the honey is dissolved.
3Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a large mixing bowl.
4While drizzling in the water, mix with a fork until the dough comes together.
5If it is too dry, add a little more water until it holds together to form a ball. You can switch to using your hands.
6Flour your counter and turn out the dough.
7Knead, sprinkling lightly with flour so it doesn’t stick to your hands.
8Knead for 3-4 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky and is smooth.
9Coat the mixing bowl with a little oil and put the dough back in the bowl and cover with a towel.
10Place in a warm place. This can be the microwave or oven (both turned off) for 20 minutes to allow the dough to rest after kneading and make it easier to shape and keep the dough tender.
11Remove from the oven after 30 minutes.

Tips
This Homemade No Yeast Pizza Dough is sugar free and freezes well, so you can make your favorite pizza anytime.
The dough does have to rest after kneading because the glutens in the flour develop and this will make rolling out the dough difficult.
Since this dough has no yeast, sugar is not needed. Honey adds a slight sweetness to the dough, makes it moist and helps it brown.
After the dough has rested, wrap it well in plastic wrap then put it in a plastic container with a lid or a ziptop bag. It will keep for months. When you are ready to use, defrost in the fridge overnight, then bring to room temperature before using.
Using hands is the best method to shape pizza dough. Take the ball and using fingertips, start in the center and push out to shape to a perfect pizza round.
