Ingredients
Ingredients
sparkling water
1 1/4 cups (can substitute with tap water if desired)
extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons (none)
bread flour
4 cups (none)
salt
1 teaspoon (none)
sugar
1/2 teaspoon (none)
garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon (optional, use fresh garlic after rising)
rosemary
1 teaspoon (or your choice of fresh herbs (optional))
cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon (optional)
fast-rising active dry yeast

Instructions
1
Pour sparkling water into the bread machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. If using tap water, it will still yield great results.
2
Add the olive oil to the liquid.
3
In separate corners of the bread pan, add salt, sugar, and yeast. This keeps the yeast away from the salt to ensure proper activation.
4
Next, sprinkle in the garlic powder, rosemary, and cinnamon if desired.
5
Add the bread flour to cover the liquids and dry ingredients. Do not stir; the bread machine will take care of that.
6
Set your bread machine to the basic dough cycle and start the machine.
7
Once the cycle has finished, lightly flour your work surface. Transfer the dough onto the surface and gently knead it just a couple of times.
8
Divide the dough into two equal halves and roll each piece into a 12-inch round.
9
Top each pizza with your favorite toppings, from classic marinara and cheese to adventurous combinations.
10
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the pizzas for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
11
For a creative twist, try making grilled pizza by placing the dough directly on a preheated grill.
