Cheesy Garlic Flatbread

This is our standard spaghetti/lasagna/ziti bread. I use the bread machine, but I would guess it could easily be replicated by hand. The one in the photo is a little on the done side, but no matter.

Bread:
1 1/4 c warm water
3 1/2 c flour (I've used up to 1c whole wheat with good results)
1 1/2 t sugar
1 1/2 t salt
1 1/2 t yeast

Topping:
2 T butter, melted
1/2 t garlic salt
1/2 c shredded mozzarella
1/4 c Parmesan

Layer bread ingredients in bread machine; select dough cycle. Spray baking stone with non-stick spray and sprinkle with cornmeal. When dough is finished, remove from pan, stretch into shape and lay on prepared pan. Brush dough with butter, sprinkle with garlic salt and top with cheeses. Set in draft free location to rise for 45 minutes. Place oven rack in lowest position; heat oven to 450. Bake 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown.
