Preparation
- Place warm water in a large mixing bowl. Stir in sugar and sprinkle yeast over the top. Allow to set for five minutes until it foams.
- Add olive oil, flour, salt, and herbs. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about five minutes until smooth.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about one hour.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 500 °F. Prepare baking sheets with nonstick spray and cornmeal or parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 16 portions. Flatten each into rounds on the baking sheets.
- Spread pizza sauce and sprinkle with toppings as desired.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until crust is crisp and cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Storage
- To freeze baked pizzas, wrap cooled pizzas in foil or plastic wrap and place in a larger zip-top bag. Thaw and reheat in a 350 °F oven for about 5 minutes.
- To freeze unbaked pizzas, assemble as directed, place trays in the freezer, then stack frozen pizzas between layers of paper and store in a freezer bag.
