Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2-1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. active dry yeast
  • 1 Tbsp. cornmeal

Preparation:

Place all ingredients in bread pan in order directed by bread machine instruction manual. Program dough cycle setting; press start. Remove dough when cycle ends; let rest 5 minutes.

Roll out dough to 14" circle. You may have to let the dough rest for a few minutes and roll again until it doesn't spring back to a smaller size. Place in greased 14" pizza pan. Cover crust and let rise 20 minutes until puffy. Use your fingers to dimple the dough. Prebake the crust at 450 degrees for 6-8 minutes until light brown. Then top as desired and bake at 400 degrees for 15-25 minutes until toppings are heated and cheese is melted and bubbly.
