Herb Pizza Crust

Ingredients:

Combine:
1 pkg instant yeast (.25 oz.)
8 oz. lowfat milk, warmed to 110 degrees
4 oz. water, warmed to 110 degrees
2-3 cloves of pressed garlic

Separately:
3 cups All Purpose Flour
2 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp Italian seasoning

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare pizza pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
Add warmed liquids all at once to the dry mixture.
Stir until well mixed, incorporating all the dry ingredients.
Cover the bowl with a clean damp towel and set aside for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the dough to rise.
Empty dough out onto a clean, floured surface. Knead by hand 6-8 times, it may be necessary to add additional flour to the surface to keep dough from sticking.
Roll into desired shape and thickness or use your hands and toss.
Place rolled dough onto prepared pizza pan, add favorite sauce and toppings.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10-14 minutes, depending on crust thickness.

We tried this with a pesto base that was also painted onto the crust edge with delicious results.
