Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside the oven to heat up.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a 10-12 inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Sprinkle cornmeal onto a sheet of parchment paper and place one dough circle on top. This prevents sticking and adds texture to the crust.
Transfer the dough (with parchment paper) to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake the crust for 7-8 minutes until it begins to set but doesn’t brown completely.
Remove the crust from the oven, add your desired sauce and toppings, then return it to the oven for another 7-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
Repeat the process with the second dough circle. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Boboli-style pizza crust!
