EASY HERB PIZZA DOUGH

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.

HERBED PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to roughly 150 degrees. Just enough to make it warm enough to cause the dough to rise well. Then turn your oven off as soon as it heats up.
• Add all the above ingredients in the order above into your stand mixing bowl. Mix using a dough hook until it forms a ball. Place it in an oiled bowl and cover with a cloth. Place in the warm oven for about 30 minutes or until the dough doubles in size.
• When dough has doubled, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out the dough in desired shape. You may need to flour your surface and rolling pin to prevent sticking. I usually just sprinkle my baking sheet (or stone) with corn meal and garlic salt and just press out my dough.
• Add your favorite toppings and bake for approximately 15-18 minutes depending on the size of pizza you're making. Should just be bubbly.
• Enjoy with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

HERB PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in the water in a small bowl and let stand until slightly foamy on top, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl stir together the 2 ¾ cups flour, salt, and herbs. Form into a mound. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture to it.
• Using a fork, stir the dough in a circular motion, gradually pulling the flour into the yeast mixture until a dough forms.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface using some of the ½ cup flour.
• Using the heel of your hand, knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
• Form the dough into a ball.
• Brush a large bowl with the oil and place the dough in it. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 to 2 hours.
• Place dough on work surface lightly dusted with the remaining flour.
• Punch the dough down.
• By hand, gently press dough out into desired shape.
• Place one hand in the center of dough, and with the other hand, pull, lift and stretch the dough, gradually working your way all around the edge, until it is the desired thickness, about ¼ inch thick for a crusty pizza base and ½ inch thick for a softer one.
• Flip the dough over from time to time as you work with it; alternately, roll the dough out with a rolling pin. The dough should be slightly thinner in the middle than the edge.
• Lift the edge of the pizza to form a slight rim.
• Transfer dough to a baker's peel or baking sheet, cover, and let rise again until almost doubled, about 20 minutes.
• Top as desired.
• Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden, or according to your pizza recipe's instructions.

FRESH HERB PIZZA

Steps:

• Sprinkle the yeast over 3/4 cup warm (not lukewarm) water in a bowl and leave to sit for a bit.
• In a mixer, add the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and with the mixer running on low speed (with the paddle attachment), slowly pour in the olive oil and keep going until it's mixed through. Next, pour in the yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined.
• Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil, tip the dough in and form it into a ball. Toss to coat the dough ball in the olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 or 4 days.
• Arrange the oven rack in the lowest position and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Drizzle a large baking sheet with olive oil.
• Roll out the pizza dough as thinly as possible and place it on the baking sheet. Drizzle over some extra-virgin olive oil, sprinkle over some salt and pepper and place the mozzarella slices all over the dough.
• Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Put the arugula, whole basil leaves and parsley in a bowl and toss with the extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Scatter over the pizza, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and serve.

EASY-CHEESY HERB PIZZA DOUGH

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.
• 7. Preheat oven to 500ºF. Transfer each rolled dough onto a corn meal dusted pizza pans. Add pizza sauce, leaving about 1-inch around the edge and adding toppings of your choice. Transfer topped pizza to preheated oven and bake for 7-12 minutes or until dough is lightly browned and crisp.
