Crispy Pizza Dough image

It's like eating a pizza on a thin tasty cracker. I give a dough recipe for a bread machine, but you can just as easily substitute your own yeast recipe. The part you can't change is the forming of the dough in a skillet and the instructions for cooking the pizza. The crust can be used immediately or frozen for about a month.
