Bread Machine Thin Crust Dough

Collect all the necessary components required for this recipe.

Fill the bread machine pan with warm water and then add flour, creating a layer on top of the liquid. Sprinkle yeast, salt, and sugar evenly over the flour mixture. Activate the machine's dough function and initiate the mixing process by pressing the start button.

Once the machine signals that the dough has reached completion, carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a well-coated work surface.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

Stretch or roll the dough out into a thin, circular shape with a diameter of approximately 14 inches. Be sure to leave the dough's edges thicker than the center, as this will help it hold its shape. Carefully position the dough onto a 14-inch pizza baking sheet, ensuring it is centered.

Brush the dough with olive oil to prevent drying out during the cooking process.

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes; immediately remove it to add your desired toppings before completing the final baking phase.
