Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups water, 8o-90 degrees F (27-32 degrees C)
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 4 1/4 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons yeast, active dry, instant or bread machine

Preparation

Step 1

When cycle is completed remove dough from pan, punch to deflate and let rest 10 minutes before continuing.

Brush a pizza pan with olive oil and sprinkle with cornmeal (cornmeal is optional). After dough has rested, place on pizza pan and spread out with hands to fit pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until about doubled in size, about 40 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (235 degrees C).

Ingredients for topping:
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1-2 teaspoons garlic salt (depending on taste)
1-2 teaspoons dried rosemary (crushed between fingers)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

With oiled fingertips, press indentations into the dough all over about 1/2 inch deep. Brush dough with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with remaining ingredients. Place in preheated oven and bake until golden and puffed with a crispy crust, about 10-15 minutes.
