Instructions
- Combine both flours, yeast, salt, pepper, garlic powder and herbs EXCEPT the rosemary in a large bowl.
- Slowly add and mix in 1 cup of the water, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and then the rest of the water or enough to form a sticky dough.
- Knead for 5-6 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- If you are using a mixer, the dough will stick substantially to the bottom of the bowl but clean the sides. If you are mixing by hand, it will be slightly sticky to the touch.
- Let rise (covered) in a lightly oiled bowl for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Oil a baking sheet (see note) generously with olive oil. Pour dough onto the sheet and, with oiled hands, spread it out. If it only spreads so far and bounces back, rest 5 minutes and spread it again.
- Once the dough is spread over the entire sheet, let it rise (covered) for 15 more minutes.
- Once the dough has risen, press your fingertips into the dough to form dimples. Generously drizzle olive oil over the surface, letting it pool slightly in the dimples.
- Sprinkle the coarse salt, fresh rosemary, and mozzarella evenly over the top of the dough.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. It will sound hollow when tapped. Let cool before serving.
