FLUFFY YET CRUSTY PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE

Steps:

• Add all the dry ingredients into the bread machine pan; add the oil and then pour the warm water over. Set cycle to dough settings and allow the bread machine to do its thing. (My cycle was 1 hour and 30 minutes.)
• DIRECTIONS FOR STAND MIXER: Dissolve the yeast in warm water and set aside. Place the dry ingredients into the bowl of the mixer; add the oil. Turn the mixer on low speed and slowly pour in the water/yeast mixture. Knead the dough for 10 minutes. Cover and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour or until doubled. Roll the dough out; top with toppings and allow another hour or so to rise before baking.
• Cut out two (16" wide) pieces of parchment paper. Place on a flat surface; dust with flour and set aside.
• Once the dough cycle has finished (or when the dough has finished rising after kneading) transfer dough onto a floured surface.
• Cut the dough into two equal pieces and flip over. Take the ends of each piece and pinch together to form a ball.
• Roll the dough out into an 11"-12" circle. Transfer onto parchment paper; top with desired toppings and allow prepared pizzas to rise for 45 min.
• Place two baking sheets upside down onto the bottom rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F with the baking sheets inside. While the oven is preheating allow the dough to rise an additional 15 min (about the time the oven preheats.)
• Slide the parchment paper with the pizza on top onto a large tray or cutting board. Then carefully slide the parchment paper onto the hot baking sheets and bake one pizza at a time for 14-16 minutes.
• Remove the pizza by dragging the parchment paper onto a cutting board and slice.
