Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, and cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Turn it out onto a floured surface and divide it into two equal portions if making smaller pizzas.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside while it heats up.
Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and transfer it to a piece of parchment paper. Add your preferred pizza toppings on top of the dough.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your garlic rosemary pizza crust!
