Food Processor Herbed Pizza Dough
Yield: Two 12” pizzas Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
Ingredients: Combine water and sugar in a food processor. Sprinkle yeast over the water and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add oil, 3 cups flour and salt. Process until dough comes together, about 1 minute.Turn dough out onto floured surface and sprinkle with the fresh herbs. Knead dough until it is smooth and elastic, adding flour as needed if dough is sticky, for about 5 minutes. Spread olive oil lightly in a large bowl, add dough and turn to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic, then a towel. Let dough stand at room temperature until dough doubles in size – about 1 hour. Push 2 fingers into the dough. If the depressions remain, the dough is ready. Punch down the dough and knead for about 2 minutes until smooth. You can knead the dough in the bowl if it is large enough. Divide dough and prepare pizzas. Makes two 12inch pizzas.
