Homemade Pizza Crust

This Homemade Pizza Crust recipe combines warm water, sugar, salt, flour, and active dry yeast to create a basic dough suitable for baking or grilling pizza. It can be made either using a bread machine for convenience or prepared manually via mixing and kneading. The crust is rolled out to cover the pan and baked at 400°F or grilled at 500°F for a crisp finish.

  • Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a greased pizza pan before adding toppings and baking.
