MY "BEST EVER" BREADMAKER PIZZA DOUGH

Provided by HOUSEMANAGER Charle

Time 3h

Yield 8 slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour or 4 cups bread machine flour
1 tablespoon of your favorite pizza seasoning (mine is Wildly Delicious Italian)
4 teaspoons fast rise yeast
2 tablespoons cornmeal

Steps:

MEASURE all ingredients except cornmeal into bread pan in order listed; Select dough setting.
REMOVE dough to lightly floured surface and cover with plastic wrap; Let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
SPRINKLE cornmeal on large 16 inch pizza pan or on a pizza stone and press dough into pizza shape; Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
SPREAD with desired sauce, seasonings and toppings.
BAKE at 425F for 20-30 minutes; I like to partially bake the pizza on a pan for about 8 minutes and then transfer it to a hot pizza stone sprinkled with the cornmeal for the remainder of the cooking time.
I find by baking it initially on the pan it is easier to transfer to a pizza stone thus maintaining its large size.
