- 1.
In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and allow it to sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

In a mixing bowl, sift flour and salt together. Add the chopped herbs and mix well.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Stir the dough with a wooden spoon until it comes together. Once the dough starts to form, knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until soft and elastic.

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside while preheating.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a round pizza crust, about 10 inches in diameter.
- 8.
Once the oven is fully preheated, carefully transfer one dough round onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp.

Repeat the process for the remaining dough portions.
