This recipe is for pizza dough, which makes a really great bread all by itself. This particular version does not require very much kneading, but it is a very wet dough, so a scraper would be handy to have while you are wrangling this beast.

Method
Dough:
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 Tbsp active dry yeast
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1.3 cup water
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
Method
- Use the 1/3 cup of water and sugar to proof the yeast
- Use a food processor to pulse combine the flour and yeast mix
- Add the rest of the water in a drizzle
- Let rest 10 min
- Add salt and oil
- Process 30 seconds
- Turn out onto oiled board and knead lightly
- Place in oiled bowl for first rise, covered and in a warm place (if you have space in the fridge, you can do this overnight)
- After first rise, punch down on floured board
- Make 4 balls for second rise
- Preheat oven with pizza stone at 500 for at least 45 minutes
- If you want to also have pizza, make disks using fingers only to preserve bubbles in dough. Do not use a rolling pin or press.
- For the garlic cheese buns, simply sprinkle the dough balls with garlic powder and shredded cheese (like a romano or a parmesan) for pretty tasty bread
- Move the bread to the oven, carefully
- Cook for 8 to 10 minutes
