Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Mix the dry ingredients together well.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer the dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour, a tablespoon at a time.
Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat with the oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for 60-75 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch the dough down to release any air bubbles. Divide it into two equal portions if making smaller pizzas or leave whole for one large pizza.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. It is now ready to be topped with your favorite ingredients and baked!
