Herbed Flatbread (Pizza Dough)

My Notes
Although this makes a slightly thicker flatbread/pizza round, you can make it thinner by simply halving the ingredients. It is very easy to make and adds a wonderful myriad of flavors to your pizza or flatbread. Personally I prefer to use an old, washed wine bottle as a rolling pin instead of the wood or silicone ones. Do not forget the flour on the pan beneath the dough as this will prevent sticking when baked.

Makes: 1 pizza round or 1 large flatbread.

Prescription
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp (or 3 tsp) fast action dried yeast
2 tsp rosemary
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp thyme
2 tsp basil
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup warm water
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp oil

1. Sift together flour and salt into a medium bowl. Stir in the yeast and all of the herbs. Make a well in the center and add the honey, oil, and water and mix until a dough forms. Brush with oil and cover. Place into a warm place to rise for 30min or until doubled.
2. Preheat oven to 400F. Roll out dough onto a floured pizza pan or cookie sheet using a rolling pin. 
3. If making pizza, bake for 8 minutes before adding toppings and returning to oven for an additional 20min. If making flatbread, bake for 15min. Serve immediately.
