Boboli's Pizza Crust

My friend, Jessi, sent me a PDF file full of restaurant/professional recipes that I'll be sharing from time to time on here. Note that I haven't tried any of these yet, but they sound great! I LOVE making homemade pizza, so I wanted to post this recipe for pizza crust first. If you try it out, leave a comment to let me know how you liked it!



1 pk Dry Yeast
1/4 cup Water
2 1/4 cups Warm water
6 tb Olive oil,+ extra for pans
6 cups Flour
1 ts Salt

Dissolve yeast in warm water (105F is perfect). Let it sit for two minutes. Add the rest of the ingedients and mix well. Turn out onto board and knead for ten minutes. Place back in bowl covered with a damp towel and let rise 30 to 40 minutes.

Divide dough into 3 parts and place in 3 olive−oiled pie pans.

Dimple dough with fingers. Place on top the following mixture:
Coarse sea (or Kosher) salt, fresh ground pepper, chopped rosemary and thyme. If herbs are dried, soak them in water for 10 minutes and then pat dry on paper towels.

Let rise 50 to 60 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.

May dip in olive oil.
