1 Bread Machine with Dough Cycle
1 Teaspoon Dry Yeast
3 Cups All-purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Dry Milk Powder
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Butter
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
1 1/2 Cups Water
1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese set aside

Preheat oven to 400F.

I use a bread machine for several of my bread recipes and it's also an easy way to prepare your favorite recipe for pizza crust.

Pour water into the bottom of the bread machine bowl. Add the butter.

Measure and pour atop the water all of the dry ingredients except the yeast. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and put in the yeast. (Do not let the yeast come into contact with the water.)

Press the dough cycle on the machine and start. This takes about 1 1/2 hours.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 10 times, adding more flour if it is too loose. Form into a ball and place in a warm area for 10 minutes.

Roll out or press into lightly greased pizza pan forming a 12” to 14” circle. Prick with fork, and sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, press down cheese and bake for 10 minutes. (This prevents the crust from getting soggy.)

Remove from oven and top with the sauce, cheese and toppings. Bake for 30 minutes at 400 until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
