For the dough:
1 1/4 cups warm water
2 packages of yeast
2 tbs honey
3 tbs good olive oil
4 cups flour
2 tsp kosher salt
Combine water, yeast, honey and olive oil in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add 3 cups flour, then the salt, and mix. While mixing, add one more cup of flour, or enough to make a soft dough. Knead the dough on low to medium speed for about 10 minutes until smooth, sprinkling it with flour if necessary to keep it from sticking to the bowl. Place the dough in a well-ooiled bowl and turn it several times to cover it lightly with oil. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and roll each one into a smooth ball. Place the balls on a baking sheet and cover them with a damp towel. Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees
If you've chilled the dough, take it out of the refrigerator for 30 minutes to come to room temperature. Roll and stretch each ball into a rough 8-inch circle and place them all on baking sheets sprinkled with corn meal. Brush the dough with olive oil.
Spread crust with pesto sauce. Top with cooked medium shrimp, chopped artichoke hearts, and mozzarella cheese. Top that with tomato slices and a good handful of pine nuts. Sprinkle with parmesan and bake. Drizzle each pizza with 1 Tbsp olive oil and bake for 15 minutes until crust is crisp and the toppings are cooked. If you really want to go over the top, drizzle it with some alfredo sauce when it comes out of the oven.
