Pizza Dough

For the bread machine

Makes 2 – 12 inch pies

1 ½ cups warm water

1 tsp dry milk

2 Tbs sugar

1 tsp salt

4 cups white bread flour

1 Tbs Italian Herbs & Seasoning (optional)

2 tsp Fast Rise Yeast

Put ingredients in bread machine in order they appear. Make a well in the flour and put all of the yeast in the well. Set bread machine to the Dough/Pasta setting which should be about 1 hour 20 minutes.

Put a thin layer of olive oil on baking stone for a nice crispy bottom to your pizza. Coat hands with flour, split dough in half, lightly manipulate the dough into a flat, round disk (about 6-8 inches across), place on pizza stone, and cover with a clean dish towel and allow to rest for about 30 minutes.

Gently but firmly press dough disk out to edge of pizza stone or until it’s about as thick as you want your pizza. Layer with your toppings and bake at about 450* - 500* F until cheese is melted and crust is golden.
