The dough is versatile, allowing you to roll it out thin for crispy edges or leave it thick for a heartier base.

Perfect for weeknight dinners, DIY pizza nights, or meal prepping, this simple yet flavorful pizza dough recipe is your go-to for restaurant-quality pizza at home.
Add the ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this means liquids first (warm water and olive oil), followed by the dry ingredients (salt, sugar, flour), and finally the yeast on top.
Set your bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and press start. This cycle will knead the dough and let it rise for you, which typically takes 1 to 1.5 hours.
When the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Preheat your oven to 475Β°F (245Β°C) if baking immediately, and prepare a pizza stone or baking sheet by lightly greasing it or dusting it with cornmeal.
Roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness, transferring it to the prepared baking surface.
Add your favorite toppings and bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the edges are crispy.
If not baking immediately, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, allowing the dough to come to room temperature before baking.
