Pizza Crust

This is a recipe that came with my bread machine (West Bend) which I have slightly modified. I usually double the recipe and make them in 2 cookie sheets with edges. When I first made pizza with this crust my 6 year old son told me it was the best pizza in town!

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup water (80 to 90 degrees F)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• 2 teaspoons dry active yeast or 1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Instructions

1. Select dough setting.
2. Place ingredients in pan as listed making a shallow well in the center for yeast.
3. When dough cycle is complete, remove dough and place on floured surface. Knead about 1 minute then let rest for about 15 minutes.
4. Roll out dough to fit 12 or 14 inch pizza pan. Place dough in greased pan that has been sprinkled with cornmeal. Press dough into pan, forming an edge.
5. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for 20 to 25 minutes.
6. Spread with your favorite pizza sauce, cheese and toppings.
7. Bake in preheated 425 degrees F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until nicely browned on top.
8. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
