Ingredients
Method
- In a small bowl, stir sugar into warm water and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Leave for 5-10 minutes until yeast becomes frothy.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer equipped with a dough hook, combine 2 tbsp of the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, oregano leaves, rosemary and black pepper.
- Turn mixer on medium-low speed and pour in yeast mixture. Add flour 1/2 cup at at time until fully incorporated then knead for 3 minutes. Remove.
- Lightly spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough into bowl, cover with towel and allow to rise in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down dough, roll out on a floured surface until 1/2 inch thick. Cut a large piece of parchment paper and place onto a baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, spread half of the remaining olive oil onto the parchment and place the rolled dough onto it. Using your fingers, poke holes all over the dough. Drizzle with remaining olive oil. Allow to rise another 20 minutes until slightly risen.
- While it is rising, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese and jalapeno slices evenly over the surface.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven at 400 degrees F for 18-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
