Ingredients

• 3/4 c. + 1 tbsp. water
• 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 2 c. flour
• 1/2 tsp. sugar
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation

Step 1

Add water and vegetable oil to pan.
Add flour, sugar and salt. Tap to settle, then level dry ingredients, pushing some of the flour mixture into the corners.
Make a slight well in center of dry ingredients and add yeast.
Place pan into maker. Program for Dough. When dough is done, audible alert will sound and bread maker will turn off. Remove pan from bread maker, then remove dough, placing onto floured surface. Knead about 1 minute then let rest 15 minutes.
Roll dough out to fit 12 or 14" pan. Place dough into greased pan which has been sprinkled with cornmeal. Press dough into pan, forming an edge. Let dough rise in warm, draft-free place for 20 - 25 minutes.
Spread sauce evenly over crust, then top with favorite meat, toppings and shredded cheese. Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until nicely browned on top. Let rest 5 minutes before cutting.
