Warm water, add honey and yeast to a glass cup or bowl. Let it get foamy.
Add 3 cups of flour, salt, olive oil to a large mixing bowl. Add the water yeast mixture and the gluten. Mix with a dough hook.
Add 1 cup of flour and see how the dough looks. It will need to be sticky but pull away easily from the side of the bowl. You may need to add more flour, just add ½ cup at a time. 4 cups was the perfect amount for my batch.
Knead for 5-8 minutes to develop the gluten. Cover and let rise for an hour.
Punch down, divide into 4 pieces. Stretch your dough and fold into itself to make a ball. Roll the dough into a ball.
Cover and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. If you have pizza stones or cast iron, put them in the oven at this stage to get them hot.
Dust your counter or use a mat. Stretch the dough with your hands to make a pizza. Don't roll it, because you will lose your air in the bread.
Once you have the desired size, put your dough on the stone or cast iron, and layer on your toppings.
Bake for 12-15 minutes in the middle rack until the cheese is nice and bubbly.
