Place all the ingredients in the bread machine pan according to the order in the manufacturer’s instructions.
Program for the Dough or Pizza Dough cycle and Press Start.
When the machine beeps at the end of the cycle, press Stop and unplug the machine. Immediately remove the bread pan from the machine and turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
Divide it in the desired number of portions. Flatten each portion into a disc by kneading a few times then folding the edges into the centre. Cover with a damp towel on the work surface to rest for 30 minutes until the dough has increased about 20 percent in size.
Roll out and shape the dough as directed in your pizza recipe.
To freeze, wrap the dough in plastic first (to suspend the rising) and then in a resealable freezer bag. Pizza dough keeps frozen in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost in refrigerator overnight before using. Allow dough to rise for at least 20 minutes before rolling out.
