Herb Pizza Dough Recipe

Ingredients:


* 1 package Active Dry Yeast

* 1 teaspoon Sugar

* 7/8 cup Warm Water -- 110 degrees

* 1/4 cup Italian Seasoning

* 2 1/4 cups Flour

* 1 tablespoon Flour

* 1/2 teaspoon Salt

* 1 tablespoon Garlic Olive Oil -- as needed

* Oil And Cornmeal For Pan


Directions:


Stir together the yeast,sugar and warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. In the

work bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, chop the herbs. Turn off machine.Add

flour and salt.


Turn the machine on and off a couple of times. While the machine is running, add yeast. Process

until the dough forms a ball at the side of the bowl. Add garlic olive oil and process for 30 to 40

seconds more.


Transfer dough to a bowl that has been oiled with olive oil. Turn the dough until the entire surface

has been coated with the oil. Cover bowl with a damp towel and allow to rise in a warm draft free

place for 1 hour or until doubled.


Roll out on a lightly floured surface and if dough is too elastic, try tossing it from hand to hand to

flatten it out. Lightly grease the pizza pan with a little oil and sprinkle with cornmeal. Place the

dough on the pizza pan and trim the edges. Bake for 10 minutes @ 425 degrees.

Remove from oven, lightly brush the crust with a little more oil. Top as desired. Makes enough

dough for one 12" crust.
