Cheesy Herbal Pizza Dough



Delicious pizza crust recipe to make the night before.
  • 3 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 Tb olive oil
  • 1 1/4-1 1/3 cups water (enough to make a smooth, soft dough)
  • 2 Tb grated Parmesan
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  1. Mix together all dough ingredients and knead on a lightly-floured surface until smooth and soft. Do not over-knead; dough should hold together but look rough on surface.
  2. Allow to rise in a warm place, covered, for 45 minutes.
  3. Refrigerate dough for 4-36 hours, to allow dough to slowly rise and develop flavor.
  4. Shape into a 12-14 inch circle, top as desired, and bake on a pizza stone 400ยบ for about 10 minutes, or until just beginning to turn golden.
