Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the warm water, olive oil, sugar, and salt into your bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Add the all-purpose flour and active dry yeast on top of the wet ingredients. Be sure to keep the yeast dry and separate until mixing begins.
Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start. Allow the machine to mix, knead, and rise the dough according to the program settings, which usually takes 1 to 1.5 hours.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine pan and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) if you plan to bake immediately, or set the dough aside for additional proofing if desired.
Roll the dough out into a 12-14 inch circle or rectangle, depending on your pizza pan or baking sheet.
Top with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.
Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Slice and serve your homemade Berks County pizza!
