Directions

  1. 1. Stir together the yeast, sugar and warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2. In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the s blade, combine the oregano, thyme, basil, rosemary and garlic; pulse chop the herbs.
  3. 3. Add the flour and salt. Pulse the machine a few times to mix. With the machine running, add the yeast. Continue processing until the dough forms a ball at the side of the bowl. Add the olive oil and process for 30 to 40 seconds more.
  4. 4. Transfer the dough to a bowl that has been oiled with olive oil. Turn the dough until the entire surface has been coated with the oil. Cover bowl with a damp towel and allow to rise in a warm draft free place for one hour or until doubled.
  5. 5. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare a 12 inch pizza pan with cooking spray and sprinkle with cornmeal.
  6. 6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and if dough is too elastic, try tossing it from hand to hand to flatten it out. Place the dough on the pizza pan and trim the edges.
  7. 7. Bake the dough for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, lightly brush the crust with a little olive oil.
  8. 8. Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough circle. Add the toppings of your choice and finish with cheese.
