Italian Herb Pizza Crust

A tender, easy to work with, low-​sodium, low-​sugar, dairy-​free pizza dough; lightly herbed with Italian seasonings to bring up the flavor and fragrance of this lovely pizza crust.

 

This recipe came to my recipe pile, about fifteen years ago. My oldest daughter brought it home from a friend’s kitchen. My girl LOVED their homemade pizza and finally hounded the recipe out of our dear friend Colleen. Rustling through my various scraps of paper with treasured recipes on them; brings back old times with good people. After all these years, I’m still blessed to have known them.

 This is an easy dough to make:

Start the yeast in your stand mixer. If your planning to make a lot of dough for yeast breads and need a good mixer with the bread dough hook , follow the affiliate link to Amazon to look over their selection.  If you just want to make an occasional dough as soft and easy as this one, roll up your sleeves and mix it in a big bowl and knead it by hand. It’s good exercise!

• Add the ingredients into your mixer or bowl, and mix until it’s a nice, soft dough. Let it rise in a warm place about an hour;

After the dough is doubled in size, punch it down and  roll in right onto your pizza stone or press it into your baking sheet.

This is my old baking stone. It’s been around a long time and is still doing great work in my oven. This stone makes rolling out the crust, baking my pizza crust, and pizzas and serving them; a one pan operation. If you’re needing Baking Stones click the affiliate link to look over Amazon’s selection. Some of them have free shipping!

Bake you’re crust, slather it with pizza sauce once it’s out  of the oven. Now load it up with all your favorite pizza goodies. Cheese, meat, veggies… Bake it all until the cheese melts and enjoy. Delicious!
