Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this will be water, olive oil, honey, salt, flour, and yeast (placed on top).
Set your bread machine to the 'Dough' setting and start. This will usually take about 1 hour and 30 minutes depending on your machine.
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
Divide the dough into two equal portions if making two smaller pizzas, or keep it whole for one large pizza. Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 10 minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel.
Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and size, using a rolling pin or your hands. Transfer it to a parchment paper-lined pizza pan or a pizza peel (if using a stone).
Top with your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade pizza crust!
