  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Pizza toppings of your choice, optional

Directions

  1. In a bread machine pan, place the first 10 ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
  2. When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Divide dough in half; press each portion into a greased 12-in. pizza pan.
