Start by combining the warm water, sugar, and honey in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the top. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This means your yeast is alive and kicking.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder (if you're using it). Whisk them together. This ensures even distribution of flavors.

Once your yeast mixture is frothy, add the olive oil and pour it into your flour mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until it begins to come together. It should look shaggy at this point.

Dust a clean surface with flour and transfer the dough onto it. Knead it, adding more flour as necessary until the dough is smooth and elastic. This usually takes around 8-10 minutes.

Shape your dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, usually about 1-2 hours.

After it rises, punch it down to release the air. Then, turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it if you want to make more than one pizza. Shape into a ball and let it rest for another 10-15 minutes.

Preheat your oven to its highest setting. Roll out the dough into your desired shape, top with sauces and toppings, and bake on a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. The aroma that fills your kitchen? Pure magic.
