Instructions

Add Ingredients to Bread Machine: Place warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt in the bread machine’s baking pan. Add olive oil and flour, ensuring the ingredients are added in the specified order.
Select Dough Setting: Set your bread machine to the dough setting. This will take about 1.5 hours for the dough to rise and be ready.
Shape the Dough: Once the dough cycle completes, remove the dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Punch down the dough and shape it into your desired pizza shape.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). For the best results, use a pizza stone or steel and preheat it for about 30 minutes.
Assemble the Pizza: Add pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings to the shaped dough.
Bake: Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Notes

Whole Wheat: Substitute half of the bread flour with whole wheat flour for a denser, heartier crust.

Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour mix for a gluten-free version.

Cheese-Stuffed Crust: Roll cheese into the edges of the dough for a cheesy surprise.
