It is meant to get somewhat crispy but that will depend more on how it is cooked. If you like it crispier it is best to use a pizza stone to cook it on. You can use a bread machine, the yeast doesn’t have to be mixed separate.

A few questions…does the crust get crispy? Also, can this be made in a bread machine and can recipe be halved? I see below somebody did use the bread machine, but I wonder about the yeast as it is dispensed into mixture separately in my machine. Thanks for any feedback.
