This herbed parmesan pizza dough recipe is a flavorful base for your homemade pizzas, combining aromatic herbs and cheese for a delightful crust.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
Add the dried basil, dried oregano, grated parmesan cheese, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the herbs and cheese.
Pour in the vegetable oil and gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms.
Add the flour slowly to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Kneading helps develop the gluten, giving the dough its structure.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Resting allows the dough to relax, making it easier to shape.
Press the dough into a greased pizza pan, spreading it evenly.
Use your hands to gently stretch the dough to fit the pan.
Add your favorite toppings and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes.
Check the pizza halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve warm.
Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing to avoid burning your hands.
