Description

This Bread Machine Pizza Dough recipe provides an easy and convenient way to prepare homemade pizza dough using a bread machine. The dough is flavorful, slightly seasoned with garlic and onion powder, and yields a crispy crust when baked. Simply prepare the dough in the bread machine, then top with your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings for a delicious homemade pizza.


Ingredients

Pizza Dough

  • 1⅓ cups water
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal
  • 3¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1½ teaspoons active dry yeast

For Assembling the Pizza

  • Olive oil (for brushing)
  • Pizza sauce
  • Shredded cheese
  • Desired toppings (e.g., pepperoni, vegetables, herbs)


Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Bread Machine: Add the water, sugar, salt, olive oil, cornmeal, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and yeast to the bread machine in the order recommended by your manufacturer. This ensures proper mixing and activation of the yeast.
  2. Run Dough Cycle: Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and allow it to complete the entire cycle, which will mix and knead the dough and let it rise appropriately.
  3. Preheat Oven: When the dough cycle is finished, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to prepare for baking the pizza crust.
  4. Shape the Dough: Press the risen dough onto a greased pizza pan or baking sheet, spreading it evenly to your desired thickness to form the pizza crust.
  5. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush or drizzle olive oil over the surface of the dough to help create a golden, crispy crust during baking.
  6. Par-Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to partially cook it, which prevents sogginess from toppings added later.
  7. Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and spread pizza sauce evenly, followed by shredded cheese and your preferred toppings.
  8. Bake the Pizza: Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve: Slice the pizza and serve hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Be sure to follow your bread machine’s instructions for the order of adding ingredients, as some machines require liquid first, others dry.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with bread flour for a chewier crust.
  • For a crispier crust, bake the pizza on a preheated pizza stone if available.
  • Adjust toppings and cheese quantities according to personal preference.
  • Leftover dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours or frozen for later use.
