(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
3 tsp. active dry yeast
1 c. warm water (110-115 degrees), divided
1 tsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. canola oil
1 tsp. salt
2 1/2-3 c. all-purpose flour
TOPPING:
1/3 c. Italian salad dressing
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
Dash pepper
1 c. (4 oz.) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 c. warm water.  Add sugar; let stand for 5 minutes.  Add the oil, salt, remaining water and 2 c. flour; beat until smooth.  Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.  Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.  Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.  Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes.

Punch dough down.  Turn onto a lightly floured surface.  Pat dough flat.  Let rest for 5 minutes.  Press into a greased 14 inch pizza pan.  Spread with salad dressing.  Combine the garlic powder, oregano, thyme and pepper; sprinkle over dough.  Top with cheeses.  Bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
