Pizza Dough (quick and prep ahead versions) and Sauce

Prep Ahead Pizza Dough

makes 2 12'' pizzas

1 1/4- 1 1/2 c water
2 tsp. instant yeast
2 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c flour
1 1/3 c wheat flour

Make the might before or early in the morning.
 -Mix water, yeast, sugar, honey and oil.
 -Mix in one cup flour and salt.
 - Add flour until soft dough. Kneed 5-7 minutes
 -Shape into ball. place in greased, covered bowl
 -Let bowl rise in fridge until 3 hours before ready to cook.
- Let come to room temp. keep slightly covered.
- Use pizza stone if available, on lowest rack and preheat oven to 500 degrees.
- Roll out dough into two pizzas (or spin it in the air if you are brave). Top it how you like and bake for 7-8 minutes or until done. The easiest way I've found to transfer the pizza onto the hot pizza stone is to roll it out on aluminum foil  (two overlapped pieces) and then just pick up the foil with the pizza on top and carefully place onto hot pizza stone.
