Step 1

Combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, and garlic salt in a large bowl, add garlic powder and dried basil.

Step 2

Add olive oil and warm water and use a fork to stir hard

Step 3

Add any additional flour as needed (I've found that sometimes I need as much as an additional ⅓ cup), stirring until the dough is forming into a cohesive, elastic ball and is beginning to pull away from the sides of the bowl

Step 4

Drizzle large, clean bowl generously with olive oil and use a pastry brush to brush up the sides of the bowl.

Step 5

Lightly dust your hands with flour and form your pizza dough into a round ball and transfer to your olive oil-brushed bowl. Use your hands to roll the pizza dough along the inside of the bowl until it is coated in olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it in a warm place.

Step 6

Allow dough to rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size. Preheat Oven to 425F 10 minutes before its done rising

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, use your hands to gently deflate it and transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth

Step 8

Use either your hands or a rolling pin to work the dough into 14" circle.

Step 9

Transfer dough to a parchment paper lined pizza pan and either pinch the edges or fold them over to form a crust.

Step 10

Drizzle additional garlic butter including the crust

Step 11

Use a fork to poke holes all over the center of the pizza to keep the dough from bubbling up in the oven.

Step 12

Add desired toppings 15 minutes or until toppings are golden brown. Slice and serve.
