Place all ingredients in the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

After the cycle completes, remove the dough from the machine and let it rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.

If you have a pizza stone or tiles, place them on the middle rack of the oven.

Sprinkle either a wooden pizza paddle or a heavy-duty cookie sheet with additional cornmeal.

Optional: place shredded cheese, such as mozzarella, around the perimeter and roll the dough over the cheese for a thick cheese-filled border.

10
Add the toppings of your choice (I frequently just top with canned pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, sausage and/or pepperoni, sliced mushrooms and olives).

Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or tiles (if using) or slide the cookie sheet into the oven.

Bake for 18 minutes (or adjust the time based on how you divided the dough and on the thickness of the crust).
