ingredients
- 4 1⁄2 teaspoons yeast
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups hot water
- 3 1⁄2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 -2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (omit if you don't like a kick of spice)
- 2 (14 ounce) jars pizza sauce (I buy the institutional sized cans at Sam's Club its so much cheaper, especially if you're making mo)
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
directions
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in hot water, set aside and let sit for 8 minutes.
- In a large bowl mix flour and salt.
- Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture and mix well with a heavy wooden spoon.
- Turn out onto a floured surface, knead being careful to not add too much additional flour.
- After the dough starts to really pull together work in enough olive oil to get a good elastic dough that is easy to work.
- Work in the garlic, herbs and red pepper.
- Knead for about 2 minutes more.
- Divide into four equal parts, using a rolling pin to roll out into 6-7" circles, leave an edge or a crust around the edges so your toppings won't slide off.
- Sprinkle a pizza pan with cornmeal, place 2 pizza dough rounds on the pan and bake at 500 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Repeat with other 2 rounds.
- Allow to cool on the counter, for about 10 minutes.
- Top with pizza sauce and cheese. Ending with the herbs and pepper on the very top.
- Place on cardboard rounds and wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
- To bake after freezing, bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

My 4-year-old son cannot eat dairy, and preparing meals for him is time consuming. When I saw this recipe, I was so excited at the prospect of being able to have something healthy and ready-made to throw into the oven for him! I made this tonight, using vegan cheese, cooked ham, and black olives. He was in heaven. The best part is that I have more pizza in the freezer for dinner later in the week, or for him to take to Grandma's. Thanks so much!

This was soooo good! I really loved the crust with all the herbs in it...yummm. I made thick crust pizzas- the outside of the crust was crunchy and the middle was soft and flavorful. I made my own sauce from a can of tomato sauce and about a tsp of sugar, salt, black pepper, oregano, basil, parsley flakes, and garlic powder, and a few red pepper flakes. This pizza turned out amazing and I will definitely be making more of them!!

I made these Sunday to put in the freezer. I wasn't feeling well on Monday, so my husband suggested we have these for dinner. My 18 yr. old was not home, so my husband, daughter and I put one in the oven for each of us. These were excellent! I did add parmesan cheese to the pizza before anything else and also some chopped onions. We had to cook them about 5 minutes longer than suggested to get them hot. The crust turned out thicker than I thought it would be from the comments in the description, but the dough recipe made 4 very good sized pizzas. My son made the last one today. It only took not quite 2 days for these to disappear. I guess I will need to make more soon! Thanks for the great recipe!
