Steps:
- Pour the warm water into the pan of a bread machine, sprinkle in the salt, and add the flour to the pan so the flour sits on top of the water. Make a hole in the top of the flour, and spoon the yeast into the hole. Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes to moisten the flour. Set the bread machine to the knead setting, and knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead in 1/4 cup more flour or as needed, adding the flour about 2 tablespoons at a time, to make a wet, sticky, but elastic dough. The dough should be "as soft as a baby's bottom." Form the dough into a round shape.
- Wipe the inside of a large bowl with olive oil, and place the round ball of dough into the bowl. Turn the dough over a couple of times so the dough picks up a thin coating of oil. Cover with a cloth, and refrigerate the dough for 10 hours or overnight.
- The next day, allow the dough to come to room temperature before rolling out on a floured surface and adding toppings as desired. Roll the dough out thin with a thicker edge before adding toppings.
- Place a pizza stone into oven, dust it with a little flour, and preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Bake the pizza on the stone in the preheated oven until the bottom of the crust is browned, 6 to 8 minutes.

Steps:
- Unplug your bread machine and remove the bread pan.
- Place the water, olive oil and then the rest of the ingredients into the bread pan. You can make a little indent on top of the flour in order to avoid the yeast falling into the water (until the machine starts). Do not combine the salt with the yeast (as the salt can kill the yeast). Place the yeast & salt in separate parts of the bread pan.
- Place the bread pan (with ingredients) into the bread machine and then plug in the machine.
- Put your machine on the Dough setting and press the start button. In our Sunbeam bread machine, the kneading & rising on the dough setting takes about approximately 1:30 hours.
- When your bread machine has finished, unplug the machine & pour the dough onto a cutting board. Wear oven mitts (as the bread pan/bread machine may be hot). Sprinkle some flour on the cutting board (before you pour the dough) in order to avoid the dough sticking to the cutting board.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Shape the pizza dough into a round pizza shape. Don't press down on the edges of the pizza. You want a little rim around the pizza. The higher edges will help to contain the sauce and cheese as the pizza bakes.
- The pizza dough can be used to create one large pizza or two small/medium pizzas.
- Place the pizza-shaped dough on a non-stick baking sheet or pizza pan.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce (or pizza sauce) on the pizza dough.
- Sprinkle on a layer of shredded cheese.
- Add some already cooked toppings (i.e. fried Italian sausages). These toppings should be pre-cooked because the pizza baking process may not cook them properly or safely.
- Bake pizza in the oven at 400 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Baking time will vary due to the amount & variety of toppings and size & depth of the pizza dough. Check the pizza frequently after 15 minutes to ensure that it has been baked to perfection!
- Wear oven mitts to remove pizza from the oven.
- Place finished pizza on cutting board and cut into pizza slices. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place all ingredients in the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
- Select the 'dough' setting and press 'start.'.
- When cycle is finished, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to desired shape and thickness.
- Grease a pizza pan and sprinkle with corn meal.
- Transfer dough to pan and let rise until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake dough until just set--about 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and add desired toppings.
- Continue baking to desired doneness.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Look for Italian-style 00 flour, which has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour and will produce a crispier crust.
- Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Too much or too little of any ingredient can affect the outcome of your pizza crust.
- Don't overwork the dough. Mix it just until it comes together, then let it rest for at least 30 minutes before shaping it into a pizza crust.
- Use a well-oiled baking sheet or pizza stone to bake your pizza. This will help the crust crisp up evenly.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature, around 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius). This will help create a crispy crust and prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.
- Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook evenly.
- Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the toppings from sliding off.
Conclusion:
With a bread machine and a few simple ingredients, you can easily make a delicious Italian-style pizza crust at home. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pizza crust turns out crispy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your homemade pizza!
