Ingredients

• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, basil and black pepper. Mix in the vegetable oil and water.

Step 2

When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Punch dough down; place on greased baking sheet. Pat into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Brush top with olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
