Rosemary Pizza Dough

This quick and easy to make pizza dough is super tasty.
Top it with your favorite toppings,olive oil and salt.

Ingredients:
3-5 tablespoons fresh minced rosemary
2-5 fresh garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 to 3 cups bread flour
1 cup quite warm water
1 package yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:
You will want a soft dough, so start with 2-1/2 cups of flour.
If you think you need more flour, add a little at a time.
Dough should not be sticky wet.
In bowl, add yeast and warm water,
let sit for five minutes while yeast is blooming,
mince up rosemary and garlic.
Add 2 cups of flour, salt, olive oil to yeast mixture
and start mixer slowly at first.
Then add the extra 1/2 cup flour
mixed with the garlic and rosemary and let come together.
You may need to scrape down the sides of your bowl.
Once together, turn mixer to medium high and let it rip
for at least 5 minutes - this is kneading the dough.
If doing this by hand, need for 6 or 7 minutes
in a little flour on the counter to keep it from sticking.
Let dough rest for 2 minutes.
Round into a ball and cover with bowl,
I use the same bowl I mixed the dough in.
Let rise about an hour to double in size.
Flip onto a cookie sheet with edge,
pat out into flat shape, allow to rise again
for 15 minutes and then add your toppings.
Bake for 15-20 minutes in a preheated oven at 400 degrees.
Crust is crispy yet chewy inside.
