Easy Herb Pizza Crust

Easy and bread are two words I rarely put in the same sentence, but there are exceptions to every rule. Case in point, this pizza crust. It's literally the procrastinators dream. No time to let a dough rise? No problem. Just put all ingredients in a stand mixer, turn on, and let form a dough ball. Roll it out, top, and pizza is in the oven.

Ingredients
3/4 cup lukewarm water plus 2 tbsp
1 tsp active dry yeast
2 cups whole wheat flour
3 tbsp olive oil
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried basil

Preparation
Add lukewarm water and yeast to a bowl and let foam. About 5 minutes. Add flour, olive oil, salt, and herbs. Mix using a dough hook in a stand mixer or with a wooden spoon. If using a wooden spoon, dump all ingredients onto a clean counter and knead 5 - 10 times until formed. If using a dough hook and a stand mixer, mix until a dough ball is formed. Put onto parchment paper or a well-floured pan, roll, and top with pizza toppings. 

Note: This dough makes a cracker-thin crust.
