Ingredients

2 ⅓ to 2⅔ cups all-purpose flour, divided
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 ½ tsp active dry yeast
¼ tsp salt
1 cup warm water (105° to 115°F)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp honey or sugar

Directions

In a medium bowl combine 1¼ cups of the flour, the cheese, yeast and salt; add warm water, oil and honey. Using a wooden spoon, stir until combined, then stir vigorously for 1 minute. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as possible.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead about 3 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic, adding only enough remaining flour to prevent sticking. Continue as directed in pizza recipe.
