1 T. Active Dry Yeast
1 1/4 C. Warm Water
1/2 tsp. Sugar
2 T. Olive Oil
3 Cloves Garlic, chopped
1 T. Fresh Basil, Chopped
1 tsp. Pepper
3 C. Flour
1 tsp. Salt

Place yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water with the sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir and let stand about 10 minutes, or until creamy and foamy. Add olive oil, garlic, basil, and pepper and stir. Using the bread dough hook on an electric mixer, add flour, one cup at a time. Add salt and mix until a soft dough forms. Place dough on well floured surface and knead to form a smooth, elastic dough, about 3-4 minutes. Place dough in large bowl sprayed with cooking spray, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
