This pizza crust is made with a bread machine (although easily converted to a stand mixer recipe or by hand) and is simple enough for a beginner to make.
04Preheat your oven to 500˚F (260˚C) for about 20 minutes before you think the pizzas will be ready to bake.
05Prepare for Baking: Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Divide into two balls, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
06Shape the Crust: Spray 2 heavy pizza pans (I use 2 13-inch round pans) with olive oil. Stretch the dough to fit. If it resists, let it rest before trying again.
07Add Toppings: Spread a thin layer of sauce, followed by cheese and toppings. Keep toppings light to prevent sogginess.
08Bake: Lower to 450°F (230°C) when the pizza goes in. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.
