Turkey Pizza on an Italian Herb Crust

The dough ingredients can be set in the bread machine in the morning before you leave for work. Put the bread machine on a delay cycle to have the dough ready to come out of the machine when you get home.

Ingredients for the pizza dough
1 cup and 2 tablespoons of water
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups of flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Italian herbs (oregano, thyme, rosemary, sage)
1 package or 2 ½ teaspoons of yeast

Preparation
Place the dough ingredients in the bread machine.
Set the machine to the cycle for dough.

Ingredients for the pizza toppings
1 cup of turkey
½ cup of artichoke hearts
1 small can sliced black olives
1 jar of pizza sauce
2 cups of mozzarella cheese
Other toppings you might like

Preparation
When the dough is ready, form it into a ball and roll it out to a large circle.
Lay on the pizza pan or pizza stone and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Spread the pizza sauce on the dough.
Place ½ the cheese on the sauce.
Cover with toppings.
Put the rest of the cheese over the toppings.
Bake at 400 degrees for 18-22 minutes. The crust should be lightly browned and the cheese bubbly.
