Source: I Dunno4 Recipes

1 cup water
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon
Italian seasoning
Parmesan cheese to sprinkle

Description

Add all ingredients (except) second parmesan cheese to breadmaker in order listed by your manufacturer. It is a good idea to put the garlic down inside the flour so it does not slow the yeast. Set breadmaker on dough setting.

When complete, form two crusts on pizza pans, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, cover, and let rise again. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and bake 5 to 10 minutes until light brown. Cool. Wrap tightly in foil and freeze until you get the pizza urge. Great to have around for easy last-minute dinners.
