I have tried dozens of pizza crust recipes, and this one stands out as the very best as far as taste, and ease of preparation. I usually make about a dozen and freeze as necessary to always have them on hand when needed (which is often). Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups water |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
4 cups flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons active dry yeast |
Directions:
1. Add the ingredients to the bread machine in the order given by the manufacturer (liquids first, followed by drys, and finally yeast).
2. Process on the dough cycle for 1 1/2 hours then turn out onto a floured surface.
3. Divide into (2) equal sized dough balls. Knead each ball in your hands for a few minutes, then set under a towel for 15-20 minutes to rest.
4. Stretch or roll each dough ball seperately into a 14-inch circle, and prebake on a lightly oiled pizza pan, or cornmeal dusted pizza stone for approximately 5 minutes in a 375 degree oven.
5. Refrigerate crusts up to a week. Freeze for even longer if necessary.
