How to Make Pizza Dough in the Bread Machine

Making your own pizza dough in the bread machine isn't hard at all, and the taste – well – you'll never go back to store bought dough or frozen pizza again! If you have a bread machine making pizza dough is as easy as, PIE, and you can make enough to freeze, so you always have dough on hand when a pizza craving hits you.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 3 1/2 cups bread flour
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tsp. yeast
• 2 tbsp. honey
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
• Seasonings or flavorings of your choosing, such as Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, Parmesan cheese, or hot pepper flakes.

1. Measure all the ingredients into your bread machine pan.

2. Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and turn on.

3. When the dough cycle ends, turn out the dough onto a floured counter or bread board.

4. With floured hands, form the dough into balls, and allow to rise at least an hour.

5. Roll the dough out to make a pizza, or freeze the dough for use in the future.

Tips & Warnings

• Let the dough rise outside the bread machine before you freeze it, it turns out better and tastes better.
• For a thinner crust, roll out the dough super thin, and use the remaining dough for breadsticks.
• Make a double or triple batch of this dough so you'll have some left over to freeze.
