Recipe - Rosemary Garlic Pizza Dough

Pizza - who doesn't love it?  Here in my family pizza is a must have!  We all love pizza and probably no one loves it more then I do!  There were times in my life where I would happily devour a whole large with no help from others!  So, yeah I like it!
Here is a recipe for a really awesome enhancement on the crust.  We add some garlic and rosemary to the dough and it makes the pizza sing!  A couple pointers when working with your dough.  When you get ready to spread it in your pan dust the pan with corn meal first.  It helps prevent the pizza from sticking to the pan and adds a nice texture and crunch.  Also when spreading the dough use some olive oil on your fingers to keep the dough from sticking to you.  I think you will really enjoy this one!

What we need:
1 - cup hot tap water (yup, its gotta be hot so be careful!)
1 - tablespoon sugar
1 - package active dry yeast
1 - teaspoon sea salt
2 - cups flour
1 - teaspoon olive oil
1 - tablespoon fresh finely minced rosemary
1 - tablespoon minced garlic

In a mixing bowl add yeast, sugar and water.  Mix with fork and let stand for about 10 minutes.  After it sits add salt, garlic, rosemary and olive oil.  If you have a mixer with a dough hook this is the time to use it if not you can mix this by hand.  Begin to add flour a cup at a time and mix until dough it doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl.  If your dough is still sticky after the two cups add it a few tablespoons at a time until its not sticky.  Cover dough with a towel and let stand for 10 minutes in a warm place.  A great place is on top of your oven when it is pre heating to cook your pizzas!  After the 10 minutes it is ready to spread on a pizza pan and top to your desire.   Cook topped pizza at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until dough is done.
