  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
1                cup  water
1/2      teaspoon  salt
1           teaspoon  sugar
1/4           cup  olive oil
1/3           cup  cornmeal
1           teaspoon  red pepper flakes
1           teaspoon  black pepper
3               cups  bread flour
1 1/2      teaspoons  bread machine yeast

Place all of the ingredients in your machines fully assembled pan in the
order recommended by your machines manufacturer. Place the pan in your
machine. Select the dough cycle and press start. You may need to add some
more flour (1 Tbsp. at a time) if the dough is too wet or more water if
the dough is too dry (1 Tbsp. at a time).

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease a 12-inch deep dish pan with olive oil
or spray it with a cooking spray. After dough has risen one time, roll or
hand stretch the dough into a circle so that it will completely cover the
bottom of the pan. Pull the dough up around the edges of the pan so that a
slight lip is formed. Cover the pan  with a towel and let the dough rise
in a warm place for about 30 minutes. While the dough is rising, prepare
your toppings and grate your cheese; set aside. Prick the dough several
times with a fork and bake the crust for 5 minutes. Remove the crust from
the oven, and using a brush or your fingers, lighly cover the crust with
olive oil. Layer the ingredients in this order; sauce, cheese, meats,
vegetables and seasonings. Leave a 1/2 inch border around the rim of the
pizza.
Place pizza on bottom rack of the oven and bake for 5 minutes, after which
time, either move the pizza to the upper part of the oven or lower the
temperature to 400  degrees. Bake for another 25 to 30 minutes, until the
crust is golden brown.
