In reply to diane. Nope, that's correct! Commercial yeast doesn't actually require proofing, it's more for the user to be absolutely sure before making the bread that it's active. It gets activated with the rest of the ingredients.

Hi! I really enjoyed your recipe and had just one small question. I noticed you use active dry yeast, but it’s added straight to the dry ingredients without proofing. I’ve always thought active yeast usually needs that step, so I wasn’t sure if I was misunderstanding something.

Hello! I’m looking forward to baking this with homegrown cherry tomatoes and basil from my garden. I was thinking of roasting the tomatoes first, but not sure how that would turn out or if I would need to account for the difference in moisture between roasted vs. fresh tomatoes. Do you have any thoughts on that? Thanks!

In reply to Katie. Hi, Katie-- if you need more time, you can pop the dough in the fridge. Any time chilled is like a "pause" button. Let me know if you try it!

In reply to Ellie. Hi, Ellie-- you can make it without garlic, yes, it just won't be strongly seasoned.
