Ingredients

• 2.5 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 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Create a small well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the warm water and olive oil.

Step 3

Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3–4 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and return it to the mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let the dough rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.

Step 6

After resting, roll the dough out on a floured surface to your desired thickness, depending on whether you prefer a thin or thick crust.

Step 7

Top with your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings as desired.

Step 8

Bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for about 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven, slice, and serve immediately!
