- 1 package of dry yeast
- 2-3 sprigs of rosemary and thyme
- Sergio's Seasoning
- Optional: Vegetables such as tomatoes or onions
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Proof the yeast. In a mixing bowl, add warm water and sugar. Mix together and add yeast, stirring slowly. Let the mix sit for 5-10 minutes or until foamy.
