  • Olive oil - 2 Tablespoon
  • Herbs (Basil, Thyme, Oregano, Parsley etc..)

 Mix and let it rise for 1 hour @ 80F

==========

6. Brush pizza pan with olive oil and roll/stretch dough with a rolling pin7. Allow the dough to rest while you preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. If you have a pizza stone (or want to use a baking tray) place it in the oven while it preheats. 8. Brush rolled pizza dough lightly with olive oil and prick it all over with a fork. Pre-bake the dough on a 450F hot pizza stone or in pizza pan for 6 minutes. 9. Roll/Squeeze the Mozzarella cheese with rolling pin to squeeze the water out (while pizza dough is pre-baking)
10. Remove from oven and add pizza sauce and toppings. Return to oven and bake for 8-15 more minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly
11. Remove from oven, let it rest for 1-2 mins before cutting slices.
 
**TIP: Use the same dough for making Breadsticks. Bake these at 375F for 12 mins. May require broil function for 1 1/2 mins to brown the top of the breadsticks.
