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

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:

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Knead it just until it comes together.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help it to double in size.
  • Preheat your oven to the highest temperature it will go before you start making the pizza. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

This easy herb pizza dough recipe is a great way to make a delicious and flavorful pizza at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a pizza that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're craving pizza, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
