Pizza! My ultimate guilty pleasure! I could eat pizza every day for the rest of my life and be completely happy. However, delivery can get really expensive. With this simple recipe, you can make your own pizza and cheesy bread right at home! Yummy!
Garlic Herb Pizza Crust
Ingredients:
1 cup warm water
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp.) dry active yeast
1 tbsp. honey
1 tsp. fancy garlic salt
2 tbsp. garlic herb infused olive oil
3 cups all purpose flour
Directions:
1. In large mixing bowl, combine water, yeast, and honey. Stir until well combined. Let set 5-10 minutes or until bubbles form.
2. Add salt, oil and half of the flour. Stir until well combined. Continue to stir in additional flour gradually until the dough reaches ideal consistency: slightly tacky, but not sticky.
3. Knead dough for 5 minutes to form glutens. (This makes a soft, chewy crust.)
4. Lightly grease the bowl and dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise at room temperature 1-2 hours.
5. For best results, let chill in refrigerator for at least 30 min before rolling crust out.
6. Put pizza stone in cold oven and turn oven on to 500 degrees. Let oven and stone fully heat up.
7. Roll out crust on wax paper (makes transferring to stone easier). Add desired toppings.
8. Transfer pizza to stone. Bake at 500 for 9-10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
