1 Cup water

Recipe
In a mixing bowl, combine 1½ cups flour, sugar, yeast and ½ teaspoon salt. In a saucepan,
heat water and 2 Tablespoons oil to 120°-130° F. Add to dry ingredients; beat on
low speed just until moistened. Beat on medium until batter is elastic and pulls away from sides
of bowl. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (do not knead). Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Divide dough in half. Press each portion into a 12-in. pizza pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Brush with
remaining oil; top with peppers and cheese. Sprinkle with pepper flakes if desired, basil, oregano, garlic
powder, pepper and remaining salt. Let rest for 10 minutes. Bake at 425° F for 12-15 minutes or until
golden brown.
