"Best Ever" Breadmaker Pizza Dough

1 1/2 cups water
2 tbsp canola oil
2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
4 cups unbleached flour all purpose flour or bread machine flour
4 tsp fast rise yeast
cornmeal (to prevent dough from sticking to pizza pan while baking)

Measure and add the ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed. Select dough setting.

When dough cycle is finished, remove the dough from the pan and place on a floured surface. cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.

Cut dough into two equal sections and roll (or toss) into a pizza round. Sprinkle cornmeal on pizza pan and place dough on the pan. Cover with a towel and let rise another 30 minutes.

Spread pizza sauce, cheese and toppings.

Bake at 425 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

Note: To make frozen crusts for future use, partially bake the pizza crust for 8-10 minutes, cool and then freeze. To use, defrost the crust, add toppings and bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.

I have also used the dough to make mini pizza crusts and let everyone make their own pizza. Bake 15-20 minutes.
