Ingredients

2 packages active dry yeast

2 Cups warm water

2 Tbsp White sugar

1/4 Cup Olive Oil

1 Tbsp Salt

1 Tbsp dried basil

1 Tbsp dried oregano

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 cup grated romano or parmesan cheese

6 Cups flour

*Feel free to play with spices as your tastes desire!*

Directions

Mix yeast, warm water, and sugar together in a large bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes or until foamy.

Stir olive oil, salt, herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, cheese, and 3 cups flour into the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the next three cups of flour. Dough will be stiff.

Knead dough for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and rubbery. Place in an oiled bowl, and turn to cover the surface of the dough with oil. Cover with a damp linen dish towel. Allow to rise for one hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Punch dough down to release all the air. Shape into two loaves. Place loaves on a greased cookie sheet, or into two greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise until doubled in size, about a 30 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes. Remove loaves from pan(s), and let cool on wire racks for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

*I use quick rise yeast and adjust my rising times to match. The first rise is only 15min, punch down, form into loaves and let rise 30 min before baking.*

* This works great as a pizza dough or calzone dough. I bake one loaf and freeze the other half of the dough until I'm ready to use it. Dough take 4-5 hours to thaw, let rise 30 min before baking*
