Best 4 Herb Pizza Dough Recipes

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.

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.
