Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this means starting with the liquid ingredients (water and olive oil), followed by dry ingredients (sugar, salt, and flour), and finishing with the yeast on top of the flour.
Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start it. The machine will mix, knead, and proof the dough automatically. This process typically takes about 90 minutes.
Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
Roll out the dough using a rolling pin to your desired thickness and size, depending on the shape of your pizza pan or stone. Thinner dough will result in a crisper crust, while thicker dough will be softer and chewier.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza pan, parchment paper, or a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal if using a stone.
Add your favorite sauces, cheeses, and toppings to the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 5–8 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. The exact time may vary based on the thickness of your crust and the toppings used.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, slice, and enjoy!
