Neapolitan-Inspired Pizza Dough with Garlic and Italian Herbs
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast until evenly mixed. Stir in the ice water, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go, until all the flour and water come together into a soft dough. Mix in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until it is firm but slightly sticky, adding more flour if needed. Knead the granulated garlic and Italian seasoning into the dough. (You can perform the kneading in a bread machine set to the Dough cycle.)

  2. 2

    Shape the dough into a round and place it in an oiled bowl. Brush the top with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours. Punch down the dough and cut it in half. Shape each half into a 12-inch pizza crust and set them on pizza pans.

  3. 3

    Position an oven rack on the lowest level and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Bake the pizza crusts on the bottom rack just until firm, 3 to 7 minutes. Let the crusts cool for about 10 minutes before adding sauce, cheese, or other desired toppings and returning them to the oven to bake.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
