THIN CRUST PIZZA DOUGH (ABM)
Thin crust lovers you are in for a treat. For exceptional pizza, go to your local Home Depot or Lowes store and buy unglazed quarry tiles. They are very inexpensive. Position your oven rack as low as it will go in your oven. Line oven rack with unglazed quarry tiles (I use about 6 in my oven). Preheat oven at 500 for about 1/2 hour.

BASIL & GARLIC PIZZA DOUGH (ABM)
A flavourful pizza dough that I often make ahead and refrigerate (can be frozen as well). Using the bread machine makes homemade pizza crust extremely easy! I use this dough for flatbread for bruschetta, as well. This recipe makes two 12" thin crust pizzas, one 14" thick crust pizza, or one 15x10" thin crust "party" pizza. You can make this a wheat crust by using half whole wheat and half white flour. (Prep time does not include bread machine processing time.)

Steps:
- Add all ingredients (except cornmeal) into breadmaker in the order suggested by your breadmachine manufacturer. Process on Dough setting.
- Sprinkle cornmeal on pizza pan.
- Turn dough out onto floured board, and knead in any flour necessary to make the dough easy to handle. Roll out dough and place on pizza pan.
- Top as you prefer, and bake at 425 for 15 to 25 minutes or until done - edges of crust should be golden, and cheese bubbly.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the quality of your pizza. Use fresh, high-quality flour, water, yeast, salt, and toppings.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Pizza dough is a delicate balance of ingredients, and it's important to follow the recipe carefully to ensure success. If you're new to making pizza dough, be sure to read through the recipe a few times before you start.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough is an important step in the process, as it helps to develop the gluten and give the dough its structure. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: After you've kneaded the dough, let it rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide, which will create a light and airy pizza crust.
- Roll out the dough thinly: When you're ready to assemble your pizza, roll out the dough thinly. This will help to ensure that the pizza cooks evenly.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature: Pizza is best baked at a high temperature, around 500 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Making pizza dough in an automatic bread maker is a great way to save time and effort. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have fresh, homemade pizza dough in no time. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced pizza maker, these tips will help you create delicious pizza dough that you can enjoy with your family and friends.
