  Categories: Pizza, Italian
       Yield: 1 Servings
  
  
   :          ---PIZZA DOUGH ------
     4 3/4 c  white flour
         2 c  warm water -- 105 degrees
         3 ts dry yeast
         1 ts salt
         1 TB olive oil
   :          ---TOPPING ------
   :          olive oil
   :          coarse Kosher salt (sea
   :          salt)
   :          dried rosemary
   
   Dissolve yeast in the warm water.  Add yeast/water mixture to 3 cups
   of the flour.   Mix, adding regular salt and olive oil a little at a
   time. Add the rest of the flour bit by bit until the dough "feels
   right".
   
   Turn dough onto a floured board and knead; adding more flour if
   necessary to keep  the dough from sticking to your fingers. Put the
   dough in a greased bowl and rotate to distribute the grease all over
   the dough. Let rise until about double  in size (approx. 2 hours).
   
   Remove the dough, punch down and roll out on the floured board to a
   thickness of  3/8 to 1/2 inch (make it any shape you desire). Put
   dough in a pan or cookie sheet. With a pastry brush, paint liberally
   with additional olive oil.  Use your  thumb and 2 fingers to make
   dimples over the entire surface. Sprinkle the Kosher sea salt and
   rosemary over the surface of the dough.  Let rise a little more.
   
   Bake at 375 degrees F for about 25 minutes.  When done, paint
   liberally again with olive oil.
   
   Makes 1 white pizza.
