Ingredients

1 c warm water (between 105-110ºf)
2 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp honey
2 1/2 c bread flour, divided
1/4 tsp ground himalayan sea salt
1 Tbsp italian seasoning
1 Tbsp dried rosemary
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 c shredded cheese, such as monterey jack habañero
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the bowl
corn meal, for dusting

Steps:

1. In a bowl of a stand mixer, mix together yeat, water and honey; let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to proof until mixture is foamy and bubbly.
2. In the meantime, combine in a medium bowl, 2 cups flour, salt Italian seasoning, rosemary, garlic powder and cheese. Reserve the remaining ½ cup of bread flour on the side.
3. Insert the dough hook; pour olive oil and 2 cups flour mixture to the yeast (reserv ½ cup). Mix on speed 2 for 2 minutes. Increase to speed 3 and continue mixing by adding 1 tbsp. of remaining flour at a time until dough ball forms and cling to the dough hook, cleaning the sides of the bowl. Increase speed to 4 and kneed for 4 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, lightly coat a large bowl with olive oil; set aside. Transfer dough to the work surface and form a ball by folding under. Place it to the prepared bowl and turn to coat with oil from the bowl; cover with a tea towel. Transfer bowl to an unheated oven for 1 hour until doubled in volume.
5. Punch dough to deflate, form a ball by folding under, turn it over and transfer back to the oven for another rise of 1 hour, covered with tea towel.
6. Punch once again and transfer onto a work surface sprinkled with flour. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces and form 2 balls by folding under. Place one ball on the floured mat, flour the rolling pin and roll into a 14-inch diameter.

EASY HERB PIZZA DOUGH

Easy Herb Pizza Dough image

Just 40 minutes to amazing pizza!!!! After trying many pizza dough recipes and a lot of experimentation, I have come up with a recipe that everyone in the family likes. Since we're vegan and don't use cheese on our pizza, it's important that the dough be flavorful--and this one is! Top with pesto, sauteed zucchini, onion and pine nuts for a delicious pesto pizza, or try Recipe #397296 with roasted sweet potato and carmelized onion. Also, this recipe halves very, very easily.

Time 40m

Yield 2 pizza crusts, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 1/2 teaspoons yeast
2 cups water, warm
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 teaspoons safflower oil
2 teaspoons sugar
3 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons herbes de provence (you can buy this, or try Herbes De Provence)
cornmeal

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450.
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Set aside in warm place to proof while mixing other ingredients.
Combine dry ingredients in large mixing bowl and mix well.
Using a wooden spoon, make a well in the center of flour mixture and add oil and yeast.
Stir until soft dough forms, then turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead until dough becomes a smooth ball, about 5 minutes.
Cover dough with a warm towel and allow to rise briefly--about 5-10 minutes, until it's a bit springy.
Cut dough in half and roll each half into shape you need. (I roll these into two 14" crusts).
Sprinkle baking sheets with corn meal and place crusts on sheets.
Bake 5 minutes to set. You can then stick the crusts in the fridge or freezer to use later, or add toppings and bake immediately, 12-15 minutes.

Tips:

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help ensure that the dough rises properly.
Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the dough tough.
Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help it rise quickly and evenly.
If you don't have time to let the dough rise for the full two hours, you can let it rise for a shorter amount of time. Just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't over-rise.
When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Don't press down too hard or you will end up with a tough crust.
Bake the pizza at a high temperature. This will help create a crispy crust.
Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the toppings from sliding off.

Conclusion:

This easy herb pizza dough recipe is a great way to make delicious homemade pizza. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dough that is light, fluffy, and flavorful. So next time you're in the mood for pizza, give this recipe a try!
