Easy Herb Pizza Dough - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 1/2 teaspoons yeast
    2 cups water, warm
    4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    4 teaspoons safflower oil
    2 teaspoons sugar
    3 teaspoons salt
    2 teaspoons garlic powder
    2 teaspoons herbes de provence (you can buy this, or try Herbes De Provence)
    cornmeal
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 450.
    Dissolve yeast in warm water. Set aside in warm place to proof while mixing other ingredients.
    Combine dry ingredients in large mixing bowl and mix well.
    Using a wooden spoon, make a well in the center of flour mixture and add oil and yeast.
    Stir until soft dough forms, then turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead until dough becomes a smooth ball, about 5 minutes.
    Cover dough with a warm towel and allow to rise briefly--about 5-10 minutes, until it's a bit springy.
    Cut dough in half and roll each half into shape you need. (I roll these into two 14\" crusts).
    Sprinkle baking sheets with corn meal and place crusts on sheets.
    Bake 5 minutes to set. You can then stick the crusts in the fridge or freezer to use later, or add toppings and bake immediately, 12-15 minutes.
