Ingredients

Steps

1
Add all ingredients to the bread machine's baking pan in the order listed (4 cups flour, 1 3/4 cups water, 1 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp dried active yeast, 4 tbsp oil). Close the lid and turn the bread maker to the 'leavened dough' cycle which typically runs for 1 hour 30 minutes.
2
Check dough at about 20 minutes; it should not be too runny or doughy. If too runny, add a little more flour one tablespoon at a time until dough comes into a soft ball.
3
Preheat oven: Place baking rack in the top 1/3 of oven and place baking stone or steel on top. Preheat oven to 550°F or highest oven setting allowing 1 hour before baking.
4
Divide and shape pizza dough: turn dough out onto floured surface and divide into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a tight ball, flatten into a patty, fold in half, then in half again, tuck all ends under until smooth.
5
Rest dough: Set aside smooth side up on floured surface for 15-20 minutes or up to an hour, spacing balls about 4 inches apart. Cover with tea towel to prevent crust and to make stretching easier.
6
Prepare toppings as desired for the pizza.
7
Stretch dough: Flour work surface well, add 1 dough ball with flat part of fingers working from the inside out to stretch ball into a 10"-12" circle without deflating edge. Can also stretch dough over knuckles continuously for even thickness.
8
Transfer dough to parchment paper or pizza pan. If using wooden or metal pizza peel, sprinkle with semolina and shimmy dough back and forth to prevent sticking.
9
Add toppings: spread about 1/4 cup pizza sauce evenly on dough, add 1 1/3 cups grated mozzarella cheese, then add other toppings of choice.
10
Bake: Slide pizza onto hot stone/steel and bake about 7 minutes or until edges are browned and cheese bubbles. If no stone/steel, bake for about 13 minutes.
11
Remove from oven: use metal pizza peel or slide pizza onto wooden board. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
