INSTRUCTIONS
Stir together the yeast, sugar and warm water. Let stand until foamy,
about 10 minutes.
In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, chop the
herbs. Turn off machine. Add flour and salt. Turn the machine on and off
a couple of times. While the machine is running, add yeast. Process until
the dough forms a ball at the side of the bowl. Add garlic, olive oil and
process for 30 to 40 seconds more.
Transfer 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 1 hour or until
doubled.
Roll out on a lightly floured surface and if dough is too elastic, try
tossing it from hand to hand to flatten it out. Lightly grease the pizza
pan with a little oil and sprinkle with cornmeal. Place the dough on the
pizza pan and trim the edges. Bake for 10 minutes @425 degrees. Remove
from oven, lightly brush the crust with a little more oil and proceed with
recipe.
Makes enough dough for one 12" crust.
* Try basil, thyme, Italian flat leaf parsley, oregano, rosemary, cilantro.

“We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal. #J.I. Packer”
