Pizza Crust


I was in the mood for pizza the other night, so I decided to make some from scratch.  I had used this crust before and it is really tasty.  I think I got the recipe with my breadmaker, but I can't remember.  It is nice and thick, the only downside is spreading the dough, I hate that job!

Pizza Crust

3/4 cup water - lukewarm
1/4 tsp oregano
1 T olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 T sugar
2 1/4 cup bread flour
1 tsp yeast

Add water, oregano, and olive oil to the pan. Add salt, sugar, and bread flour. Make a well in the bread flour with your finger, and measure the yeast into the well. Place the pan in the breadmaker, put on the dough setting, and press start. When the breadmaker is finished (1.5 hours), place on a cornmealed pizza pan. Stretch out dough. Let rise for 10 minutes for a thicker crust. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes, then top with sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake for 10 more minutes. Recipe can be doubled for 2 crusts.

doubled ingredient list:

1 1/2 cup water - lukewarm
1/2 tsp oregano
2 T olive oil
1 tsp salt
2 T sugar
4 1/2 cup bread flour
2 tsp yeast
