Notes
- Ensure that you follow the ingredient measurements accurately and add them to the bread machine in the correct order (typically liquids first, then dry ingredients), as this will help achieve the right dough consistency and texture, leading to a perfectly risen and flavorful crust.
- Allow the dough to rise adequately after it has been mixed and kneaded in the bread machine; the resting period is crucial for developing the dough's gluten structure, which contributes to the pizza's chewiness and overall quality when baked.
