Boboli Type Pizza Crust Recipe
Ingredients:
* 1 cup water
* 3 cups all purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 2 teaspoons Red Star active dry yeast
* 1 teaspoon minced garlic
* 2 teaspoons parmesan cheese
* 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
* Parmesan cheese to sprinkle
Directions:
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. Bake 5-10 minutes at about 450 F 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. Good way for kids to make pizza too.
