Can’t remember where I found this (oh wait, I found it — Hillbilly Housewife) but here’s the basic recipe first:

Self-rising pizza crust
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon yeast
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup oil

Smush it up, let it rise. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 29 minutes. Makes one crust.

And here’s how I do it:

Put everything in the bread machine (yeast in first, dry ingredients next, oil/water on top) and use the dough setting. Also I use 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour (all whole wheat works fine, too, but I use this when visiting kids come over and the mix goes down better) and add a teaspoon of oregano to the crust. I bake it for ten minutes and then either top it and stick it back in to finish or freeze it from there. You can also sprinkle parmesan on top if you want and/or substitute some or all of the water with tomato juice. (I don’t love this but Brett does.)

I also use this for our calzones.
