Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.25 cups Warm water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry mixture. The water should be warm to the touch but not hot (approximately 110°F/43°C).

Step 3

Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap.

Step 6

Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Once risen, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Divide it into two portions if you want to make smaller pizzas or keep it whole for a large pizza.

Step 8

Roll out the dough to your desired thickness on a floured surface and transfer it to a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.

Step 9

Add your favorite toppings and bake according to your pizza recipe's instructions, typically at 475°F (245°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
