Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the warm water and sugar to dissolve the sugar.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the sugar water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Stir the yeast mixture and the olive oil into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air and transfer it back to the floured surface.
Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired thickness.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
Add your favorite low sodium toppings and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
