Servings: persons

1 tablespoon dry yeast
2 cups water
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon sea salt
2 tablespoons fresh basil
2 tablespoons fresh oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
6 cups all-purpose flour

1
Mix yeast, warm water and sugar together in a large bowl. Set aside for five minutes, or until mixture becomes foamy.
2
Stir in olive oil, salt, herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, cheese and 3 cups flour into the yeast mixture.
3
Gradually mix in next three cups of flour. (Dough will be stiff). Knead for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
