This Bread Machine Pizza Dough recipe is near and dear to my heart because much like slow cooker recipes, it requires very little work 🙂 If you don’t have a bread machine you may want to consider buying one because they are a HUGE time saver and there is no limit to the number of recipes you can make. This recipe makes 1 pizza so I usually double it so we can have leftovers. It also make fabulous bread sticks so there is also that option. We really enjoy this pizza dough recipe and I know you will too!
Ingredients:
2 c flour (I like to use bread flour but all purpose and even a combination of AP and wheat flour works)
1 Tbls butter, softened
1 Tbls sugar
1 tsp yeast
1 tsp salt
1/2 c plus 2 Tbls water (105-110 degrees)
Doubled (for 2 pizzas):
4 c flour
2 Tbls butter, softened
2 Tbls sugar
2 tsp yeast
2 tsp salt
1 1/3 c water (105-110 degrees)
Directions:
Add all ingredients into your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Make sure that the water is warm enough to proof the yeast (about 105-110 degrees).
Turn your bread machine to the dough setting and let ‘er go! After a couple minutes check on your dough. Make sure that the ingredients are thoroughly combined and that the dough is not too wet or too dry. Depending on where you live and the flour you use there can be some variances in the dough. If it’s too dry, add 1 tsp of water at a time. If the dough is too sticky, add 1 tsp of flour at a time.
The dough will raise nicely during the dough cycle. Isn’t it pretty? It never ceases to amaze me what a little yeast can do 🙂
After the bread machine is done (mine takes about 90 minutes on the dough cycle) – dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and work it until you achieve your desired shape.
Depending on the size of pizza pan or pizza stone you are using, you may not need all of the dough.
I like to lightly grease my pizza pan and dust with cornmeal. Make up your pizza and bake at 400-425 degrees for 18-25 minutes. You are looking for bubbly cheese and lightly browned crust. If you like a crunchier crust, brush some olive oil on the crust before baking.

Followed recipe and it came out delicious. Rolled out thin, brushed with oil and spices, and it puffed up nicely. Thank you for sharing!

Used this Recipe for Pizza & Garlic Breadsticks..turned out great!
This Recipe is great as is, but it leaves room for Tweakers like myself..as in adding spices, making stuffed crust..possibilities are many!

The BEST homemade pizza dough I have ever made. I swear to god the most easy and delicious pizza dough. I doubled it and made two large pies and cooked at 425 f for 20 minutes. Will be printing and putting on the fridge!
Jill says
I love this recipe. By far the best pizza dough even compared to name brand stores. Is it possible to refrigerate the dough a few days before baking? We are leaving for a long weekend and this would be great to have one night.

After it’s made, you can refrigerate for one or two days but it’s best to freeze, and then defrost the night before you plan on using. Let the dough come to room temperature and then proceed as directed.

This recipe came out great. I also wanted to add if you’re looking for inspiration I am in need of a great Pullman loaf recipe using bread machine dough (for a 1.5 lb pullman loaf size). Cause ya never know lol

It came out fantastic. I made the double sized batch and used a half size sheet pan, it came out like a granny slice as I assumed it would. After shaping it in the pan I docked it and topped it and then covered it with a damp towel and let it rise for an extra 20 -30 min. It came out great and is big enough to feed 5 or maybe 6 people. It took about 30 minutes for the center of the dough to be fully cooked.
