Ingredients
2 1/4 tsp fast rising yeast
1 tsp brown sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
Preparation
In bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in water. Let sit for 10 minutes. Stir salt, oil and Italian seasoning in yeast. Mix 2 1/2 cups flour. Turn dough out on clean, dry surface and knead in more flour until dough is no longer sticky. (I use my knead paddle on my kitchen aid) Place dough in a well oiled bowl and cover with a cloth. Heat oven to 175 degrees and shut off. Place dough in oven for 30-45 minutes or until dough is doubled. Punch down and let rest for a minute. Roll out (flatter than you think, it bakes up pretty big) and place on pizza pan or stone sprinkled with corn meal. Bake for 5-10 minutes at 425 degrees. Top with sauce, cheese and favorite toppings. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until cheese and crust are golden brown.
*Also makes great breadsticks!
Yield: about 2 large pizzas
