Bread Machine Basic Pizza Dough Recipes

Steps:

• Pour the warm water into the pan of the bread machine, and add the flour on top of the water. Sprinkle with salt and sugar, and top with the yeast. Set the machine on the dough setting, and push the start button. When the machine signals that the dough is finished, transfer to a well-floured work surface.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Roll or stretch the dough out into thin crust about 14 inches across. Leave dough thick at the edge. Place the dough onto a 14-inch pizza baking sheet, and brush the dough with the olive oil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes before removing to top with desired ingredients for final baking.

Steps:

• Put machine on the dough cycle.
• Whatever you decide to make- bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle.
• Remove after rise cycle and use with your favorite pizza recipe.

Steps:

• Put beer, butter, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast in a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough setting, and press Start.
• Remove dough from bread machine when cycle is complete. Roll or press dough to cover a prepared pizza pan. Brush lightly with olive oil. Cover and let stand 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spread sauce and toppings on top of dough. Bake until crust is lightly brown and crispy on the outside, about 24 minutes.

Steps:

• Add ingredients to pan in order listed, set bread machine on"dough" and walk away.
• After the cycle is completed, lightly coat dough ball in flour and roll or slap out to desired size.
• Top with desired sauce, cheeses, meats and/or veggies and bake at 450° until cheese is golden brown.
• Will make a 9-10" pizza of average thickness, or a 13-14" thin crust pizza.
• For best results, bake on a preheated baking stone sprinkled with corn meal.
• Notes: You may substitute beer for all or part of the water. I've used 3/4 cup flat beer and 1/4 water with excellent results. A teaspoon of semolina may be added as well -- it provides a nice crunchiness to the dough when baked. Corn meal can be substituted for the semolina (and likewise, semolina can be used to dust the pizza peel and/or baking stone).

Steps:

• Place the ingredients into the pan of a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Close the lid, select the Dough cycle, and press Start.
• When the machine signals the end of the cycle, remove the dough and knead into a tight ball on a lightly floured surface. Let rest for about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Stretch the dough out to fit your desired pizza pan. Let rise for about 20 minutes for a thicker crust.
• Top with sauce, cheese and desired pizza toppings. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the crust is lightly browned on the bottom when you lift up to take a peek.

Steps:

• SOME PIZZA TOPPING IDEAS.
• Caramelised onions and roasted garlic.
• Mozzarella cheese, Camembert, Romano and Feta (for a really, really cheezy pizza!).
• Equal parts of basil pesto and olive oil mixed together with Parmesan or Romano cheese.
• Plus some roughly chopped sundried or SEMI-dried tomatoes, sliced black olives and LOTS of grated Mozzarella cheese, salt and lost of freshly ground black pepper!
• Cranberry jelly, shredded chicken, sliced Brie!
• Mozzarella cheese, shredded chicken and sliced avocado!
• THE BREAD.
• Place all the above ingredients in the order I have listed into the bread machine.
• Select the dough cycle and press start!
• When the dough cycle is complete, take the dough out of the machine and place in well greased bowl, and roll the dough around (in the bowl) thus 'coating' it in oil.
• Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1/2 an hour.
• Knead the risen dough lightly.
• To shape and bake: roll the dough into a circle.
• Place on well greased baking tray or pizza pan.
• Then add a topping of your choice and bake at 225'C.
• NOTE: for a nice crisp and very thin pizza, bake BEFORE adding the topping AND after!
