Homemade Pizza
Ingredients:

1 (1/4-ounce) packet active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (about 110 degrees)
Pinch of sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Watkins Himalayan Pink salt
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for coating bowl
2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
Watkins Italian Seasoning
Cornmeal for dusting, if needed

Directions:
Combine yeast, water, and sugar in a large bowl and stir well to combine. Set aside until foamy, for about 5 – 10 minutes.
Add salt, olive oil, and 1 1/2 cups flour to yeast mixture, and mix well to thoroughly combine. Add 1 cup flour and mix well with your hands, working to incorporate flour little by little. The dough should be slightly sticky to the touch. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead it for at least 5 and up to 7 minutes, adding more flour as needed to form a smooth and elastic dough that is not sticky.
Lightly oil a 2- or 3-quart bowl, place dough in it, and turn dough to coat it with oil. Cover bowl with a damp towel and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size and ready to bake, usually at least 1 hour. n
While your pizza dough is rising, prep your desired toppings.
Divide in two. Knead each ball until smooth and elastic and shape into flattened circle. Spread with fingers in 2 lightly oiled 10” pizza pans. Let rise 15 minutes at room temperature.
Spread sauce on dough. Sprinkle on Watkins Italian Seasoning. Top with desired toppings. Top with cheese.
Preheat oven to 230 degrees Celsius (450 degrees Fahrenheit) Cook on bottom rack of oven for about 20 minutes or until crust is cooked.
Make: 2 large pizzas
