Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mix 1 1/2 cups of the flour, rosemary leaves, salt, and yeast in a large bowl thoroughly.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil and the hot water to the dry ingredients.
  3. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl constantly.
  4. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, scraping the bowl frequently.
  5. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  7. Knead for 5 to 8 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
  8. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it once to grease the top.
  9. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  10. Punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles.
  11. Brush a 12-inch pizza pan or large cookie sheet with olive oil.
  12. Press the dough into the pizza pan or flatten into a 12-inch circle on the cookie sheet.
  13. Make depressions with your fingers, about 2 inches apart, into the dough.
  14. Brush the surface with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper.
  15. Let rise uncovered in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  16. Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204ðC).
