Ingredients
-
1/2 teaspoon oregano
-
4 1/2 teaspoons yeast
-
1/2 teaspoon sugar
-
1 1/2 cups hot water
-
3 1/2 cups flour
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 -2 teaspoon olive oil
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon basil
-
1 teaspoon oregano
-
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (omit if you don't like a kick of spice)
-
2 (14 ounce) jars pizza sauce (I buy the institutional sized cans at Sam's Club its so much cheaper, especially if you're making mo)
-
2 cups mozzarella cheese
-
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
2 tablespoons cornmeal
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in hot water, set aside and let sit for 8 minutes.
- In a large bowl mix flour and salt.
- Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture and mix well with a heavy wooden spoon.
- Turn out onto a floured surface, knead being careful to not add too much additional flour.
- After the dough starts to really pull together work in enough olive oil to get a good elastic dough that is easy to work.
- Work in the garlic, herbs and red pepper.
- Knead for about 2 minutes more.
- Divide into four equal parts, using a rolling pin to roll out into 6-7" circles, leave an edge or a crust around the edges so your toppings won't slide off.
- Sprinkle a pizza pan with cornmeal, place 2 pizza dough rounds on the pan and bake at 500 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Repeat with other 2 rounds.
- Allow to cool on the counter, for about 10 minutes.
- Top with pizza sauce and cheese. Ending with the herbs and pepper on the very top.
- Place on cardboard rounds and wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
- To bake after freezing, bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
