Recipe(tried): Pizza Crust using Bread Machine

Here is a recipe I use over and over to make home-made pizza. I think I originally got it from my bread machine's cookbook. It is very easy--it takes 1 1/2 hours in the bread machine and just minutes to prep. In fact, I sometimes make an extra batch of the dry ingredients and put in a plastic bag where I only need to add the wet ingredients.

Crust can also be frozen in a ball in plastic wrap in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the fridge.

BREAD MACHINE PIZZA CRUST

3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp water
3/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp active dry yest

Combine all ingredients in bread machine pan. Use dough setting to mix and rise.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Pat dough on pre-greased pizza pan. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Spread sauce and toppings over dough.

Bake 15-20 minutes until crust is golden brown.
