My grandma makes the best pizza dough. When I visited her last month she shared her recipe with me – it is such an easy pizza dough recipe, I’m kicking myself that I didn’t ask for the recipe sooner!
This pizza dough recipe is made in a bread machine and yields two (2) pounds of dough (enough for a 14-inch pizza). We ended up making two smaller pizzas.
Homemade Pizza Dough in the Bread Machine
Author: Heather
Recipe type: Pizza
Ingredients
- 4 Cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- Costo has the best deal on yeast!
- 1 and ⅜ Cups water
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
To make dough:
- Toss all ingredients into the bread maker.
- Select the “dough” setting on your bread maker. This just mixes the dough, it doesn’t bake it.
- Start dough cycle. Mine takes exactly 2 hours. When it’s done, remove from bread maker.
To make pizza:
- Roll dough out onto round pizza stone or pan. You may want to grease the pan ahead of time (with olive oil) or possibly use cornmeal.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. We like to bake our dough for about 5 minutes before we put any toppings on it, mostly just because we love lots of toppings and the dough can be a bit doughy in the middle without pre-baking a bit.
- Add your toppings and bake for a total of 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown!
Don’t have a bread machine? Check out your local thrift shops – I see used bread machines for sale all the time at my local thrift stores. I think people get tired of storing them. I use mine all the time.Check out bread makers on Amazon – they have some fantastic deals, especially in the summer months when people are less likely to buy them!
