Ingredients

  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs oregano, rosemary or herbs du Provence

Instructions

  • Dissolve the honey in the warm water. Add the oil to the mixture.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, yeast, herbs and the salt. Add the water mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball. (The pizza dough can also be made in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low speed until the mixture comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and starts to climb up the dough hook).
  • Knead the dough by hand for 3-5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, coat with some olive oil, cover with a clean, damp towel and let it rise for 1 ½ to 2 hours.
