• 8. ANOTHER CHEAT NOTE: If you dont have the time to make this crust, I did come up with an alternative using the bread machine. If you want to use the bread machine: 2 3/4 Cups AP flour 1/3 Cup olive oil 1 Cup hot water (110-115 degrees) 2 teaspoons yeast Add the ingredients to the bread machine and put it on dough setting. Then put in the prepared pan and let rise again. Then follow the rest of the above instructions.
• 9. This is a serious recipe. It is well worth the effort as it is as close to the real thing as you can get at home. As I have said, I used a sauce in the pictures.... this is a no-no! Use the tomatoes and you will be in heaven!
