Ingredients
- 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 2/3 cups water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 cups bread flour, plus more for kneading
- 1 envelope savory herb with garlic soup mix
- 1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for the pans and bowl
Preparation
Step 1
1 In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the water and stir in the sugar.
2 Let the mixture stand until it bubbles, about 10 minutes.
3 Place the flour, soup mix, and cheese in a large mixing bowl or food processor fitted with a steel blade.
4 Add the yeast mixture and oil and stir with a wooden spoon or process until the mixture forms a ball If mixing by hand, turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead it until it is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
5 Oil the inside of a medium mixing bowl and turn the dough into the bowl, coating it with the oil.
6 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, dry spot until it is doubled in bulk, about 60-90 minutes Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
7 Coat 2 pizza pans with olive oil.
8 Punch the dough down, cut it in half, and form it into two balls.
9 Working on a floured counter, flatten each piece of dough with a rolling pin, rolling it out into a 12" circle.
10 Place each dough round on a prepared pizza pan Top the dough with your favorite toppings and bake the pizza until the crust is crispy, about 20-25 minutes.
