Recipe
Sprinkle yeast and sugar into 1/2 cup of the water. Do not
stir. Let stand 10 minutes or until the surface becomes bubbly. In large
bowl, combine flour and
table salt. Make a well in the center. Pour in yeast mixture
and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir with wooden spoon or electric mixer,
and slowly add remaining
1/4 cup water. Dough will be soft and slightly sticky. Turn
dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes, adding small
spoonfuls of flour if
necessary. Place in bowl and cover with plastic wrap or damp
cloth. Let rise in warm place about 80-85 degrees until doubled for 1
hour. Turn onto lightly
floured surface. Knead gently several times. Flatten to
10-inch circle.
Place on oiled baking stone, pizza pan or heavy cookie
sheet. Press indentation with fingers to make "dimples." Loosely cover
and let rise about 15 min., or
until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 425 F. In a blender or
mortar and pestle, combine remaining 3 Tbsp olive oil and herbs until
leaves are broken up and
oil is fragrant. Pour over dough. Rub gently into surface.
Sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake 15 minutes, reduce heat to 400 F. Bake 5
minutes more, or till
golden brown. Let cool and cut into wedges.
