Note

The original recipe mentioned using a bread maker's "Basic Dough" mode. If you do not have a bread machine, follow the manual kneading and rising steps provided above for best results.

For a crispier crust, ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking. You can also place a baking stone or steel in the oven while it preheats.

Toppings can be customized based on preference. Common additions include pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, or fresh basil added after baking.

Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven to maintain crust crispiness.

If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour. If it feels too dry, add water one teaspoon at a time.
