Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated 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 Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
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 frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat it in oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions if making two pizzas.
Roll out or shape the dough to fit your desired pizza pan or stone, and it’s ready to be topped with your favorite ingredients.
