Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Optional: Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, salt, dried oregano, and optional garlic powder to the yeast mixture, stirring to combine.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Lightly oil a clean bowl and place the dough inside. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. For bread, shape it into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan. For pizza, divide into two portions and roll out to your desired thickness.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for bread or 450°F (232°C) for pizza.

Step 8

If making bread, bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. If making pizza, bake with your favorite toppings for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and the toppings are cooked through.

Step 9

Allow the bread or pizza to cool slightly before slicing or serving.
