- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Instant or bread machine yeast

- Remove the pail from the bread machine.
- Empty the contents onto a cutting board, then use a dough cutter to divide into two portions. If you are only making one pizza, you can put one of the portions into a quart-sized ziplock bag and freeze it for another day.
- Use a paper towel to cover a large bowl with a coating of olive oil. Add a portion of dough to the greased bowl, and roll it around to coat the dough with the oil.
- Turn the bowl upside down onto a rolling surface and let the dough rise for ½ hour.
- Remove the bowl from the risen dough.
- Coat the dough with a small amount of flour. Kneed it slightly, forming into a boule shape.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a pizza-sized disk. Now you are ready to make pizza!
Notes
If you don't have a bread machine, you will just have to kneed the dough manually, let it rise, punch it down, then let it rise again.
