Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • ¾ cups warm water
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, water, and olive oil. Then add the flour and salt, mixing on medium speed, or by hand, until a rough dough forms.
  • Mix on low speed, or knead by hand, for 5 minutes, until a smooth dough forms. The dough is ready when it bounces back after pressing your finger into it.

Notes

Knead or mix the dough until it bounces back when you press your finger into it.
I recommend only using mozzarella cheese as it melts and browns the best compared to other cheeses.
Use a generous amount of Italian seasoning.
