Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 pkg yeast
1 cup warm water
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
4 Tbsp vegetable or olive oil I used olive oil
½ tsp dried rosemary I'm gonna up the rosemary, oregano, and garlic next time to 3/4 tsp each
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp garlic powder
½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
¼ cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
⅛ cup parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

In a large bowl or mixer dissolve the yeast in warm water, then add sugar and stir. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes until foamy bubbles appear sporadically.
Add salt, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and flour; mix well until dough is smooth. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.
With remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, pour it into a round cake pan and coat the bottom and sides leaving no area untouched. Place the dough in the pan and spread it out evenly slightly poking your fingers down into the dough.
Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella, then cheddar. Go ahead and sprinkle a little oregano (I used parsley) on at this point if you'd like for presentation purposes.
Bake in a pre-heated 425 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until cheese starts to turn golden brown. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
