Ingredients
- 2 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast (one packet)
- 1 cup lukewarm water (between 105ºF to 110ºF)
- 1 tbsp. honey tips & tricks
- 3 cups bread flour, divided
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tbsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 1/2 tsp. ground Himalayan sea salt
- 2 tbsp. olive oil, plus more to grease the bowl tips & tricks
- 1 cup finely chopped green onions
- cornmeal, for dusting
Directions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add active yeast, lukewarm water and honey. Stir and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a medium bowl, add 2 ½ cups of flour, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil and ground sea salt; whisk until well blended. Add green onions and whisk well; set aside.
- Add oil and flour mixture to the yeast. With the dough hook attachment on, process on speed 2 for 2 minutes.
- Increase to speed 3 and continue mixing by adding 1 tablespoon at a time of the reserved ½ cup of flour. Keep adding until the dough clings to the hook, cleaning the sides of the bowl. Increase the speed to 4 and kneed for 4 minutes.
- Grease hands with oil and form a ball by pulling the dough under. Place it in a large bowl lightly greased and rotate the dough around to coat it with oil. Cover with a clean dish towel and transfer to a draft-free area such as an oven with the heat off. Let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in volume.
- Punch the dough to deflate it, form a ball again by folding it under, place it back in the bowl, cover with the dish towel, and return it to its draft-free spot for another rise of an hour.
- When time is up, punch it again and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Form a ball by pulling under and divide the dough into 2 equal pieces.
- Form a ball with each piece and working with one at a time, dust with flour and roll it out into a 12-inch diameter with a floured rolling pin. If it’s a little sticky, lightly sprinkle on more flour.
- Transfer each rolled dough onto a pizza pan dusted with corn meal, stretch it and push it out to form a ridge around the edge and proceed with your recipe.
