Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons dried granulated yeast
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup water, plus
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

1. Place the ingredients in the bread machine in the listed order and run the dough cycle.

2. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, turn to coat, cover, and rise in a warm place about 30 minutes. Knead lightly and shape into a pizza base on a greased tray.

3. Add toppings and bake at 225°C until the crust and toppings are cooked. For a thinner, crisper crust, the original recipe suggests prebaking the base before adding toppings.
