Directions: 1. Whisk together water, yeast and sugar in a bowl and set aside to proof for 10 minutes. 2. In a large bowl sift together flour and salt and sprinkle in garlic, basil or oregano to taste. 3. Pour liquid into dry ingredients and mix until a soft sticky dough forms. remove dough to a lightly floured surface and knead 5 minutes, until dough is no longer sticky. 4. Place in a well oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides, cover and allow to rise until doubled in size (around 1 hour). 5. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 6. Punch dough down and place into a well oiled 12" pizza pan. You can also use a square dish (e.g. 10"x10") as is common in the Sicilian tradition. 7. Using your hands, move dough around the bottom of the pan and 2/3 the way up the sides. Set aside and let it rise 10 minutes. 8. Brush crust lightly with olive oil and add sauce and toppings. Traditional Sicilian pizzas are normally quite light on the toppings and usually include tomato, onions, anchovies and herbs. Italian cheeses such as parmezan or mozarella can also be used. 9. Bake in oven for 15-20 mins.
