Ingredients
Scale

- 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes or bell peppers, chopped
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by mixing warm water and active dry yeast in a bowl; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add activated yeast and olive oil, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
