Lately I've been following this recipe, which closely follows the pizza
dough recipe in the Breadman Manual. This results in a fairly wet dough. I
like the sugar and the oil in that quantity. I know it's sacreligious; I
like it anyway.
1.5 cups water
4 cups all purpose flour
2 TB sugar
2 TB olive oil
1 tsp salt - I use 2 tsp Kosher
2 tsp dry yeast.
