Ingredients

  • 1 C lukewarm water
  • 1 pkg. (2 t.) active dry yeast
  • 1 t. sugar or honey
  • 2.5 -3 C flour (all purpose, whole wheat, or combination of the two)
  • 1 t salt
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 t garlic salt
  • dried or fresh herbs

Directions

  1. Stir water, yeast, and sugar. Set aside for 5 minutes until it's foamy. (If it doesn't get foamy, either water was too hot and killed the yeast or it was inactive to begin with - toss it and buy fresh yeast or try again.)
  2. Add 2 1/2 cups flour, salt, garlic salt, herbs, and oil and stir until the dough comes together. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 8 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic, adding a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  3. Place dough in oiled bowl and turn to coat all over. Cover with a tea towerl or plastic wrap and set aside in warm place for 30 minutes - 1 hour, until doubled in bulk. If you want you can let it rise more slowly in refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
  4. Roll the dough out into 1 or 2 pizzas. Spread pizza dough with tomato sauce or paste, sprinkle with toppings and bake on preheated pizza stone or pan at 450F for 15-20 minutes, until bubbly and golden, or cook on grill. Makes enough for 2 - 9" pizzas or one big rectangular pizza.
