Pizza Crust

*Make this pizza dough in your bread machine. This recipe makes enough dough for two 12" pies. You can refrigerate the dough for up to a week, or freeze it. If you freeze the dough, take it out and put it in the fridge the night before you're planning on using it. Or you can bake it into a crust right away and refrigerate or freeze the crust.

*A personal dough roller - every well-stocked kitchen should have one!

Ingredients

1 1/2 C Warm Water
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 tsp Sea Salt
4 1/4 C All Purpose Flour
2 tsp Sugar
2 tsp Yeast

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to your bread machine in order given. Set your machine on "Dough" and push start.

2. When done, split dough in half and move one ball to floured board. Roll dough into a circle the size of your pizza stone, making it as thick or thin as you like. Fold edges over to make crust. Brush edge of crust with olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.

3. Bake in 450 degree oven for 10 minutes.

Mom Tip:

*To make a wheat version of this recipe, use 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour and 2 cups white flour. Do not substitute whole wheat for all of the white flour or your pizza won't be chewy enough!
