Ingredients

• 4 1/2 cups flour
• 1 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoon yeast
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• About 2 cups lukewarm water, you may need extra or less than that
• Cornmeal (for baking)
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 or 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
• 2 or 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
• Fresh chopped basil and parsley, about 2 tablespoons each

Directions

• Combine dry ingredients.
• Gradually mix in olive oil and then water until a sticky dough is formed. Err on the side of too sticky versus too dry. If you get too much water, just add a little flour.
• Knead 10 minutes by hand or about 6 minutes in an electric mixer.
• Remove dough and divide in 6 equal pieces.
• If using that same day, let rise on counter until ready to bake.
• If freezing, spray the inside of sandwich bags with cooking spray or coat with olive oil. Place one dough piece inside each bag.
• Combine all the individual sandwich bags into one freezer bag (prevents freezer burn) and store in freezer until needed.
• Remove from freezer the morning you need them and let thaw and raise at room temperature. You can also place them in the fridge the night before.
• Preheat oven and baking stone (or overturned sheet tray) to 500 degrees F.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan with 2 crushed cloves of garlic. Let heat through for a few minutes to infuse the garlic flavor into the butter.
• Roll or toss out dough until it is 1/8-1/4 inch thick. You dont need to form a crust, this will naturally happen.
• Place on a piece of parchment paper.
• Brush one side with the garlic butter, then flip it over and brush the other side.
• Top with cheese - use and much or as little as youd like. The measurements above are what I prefer. Only top your pizza when the oven is heated and you can bake it immediately.
• Bake for 6-8 minutes, until the cheese is browned and bubbly.
• After baking, sprinkle with fresh herbs.
• Let cool slightly on a wire rack or vented pizza tray for a few minutes before serving.
