Recipe for making pizza dough in a bread machine
Last Updated on
If you’ve ever wanted to make your own pizza dough but don’t have the time or energy to knead it by hand, a bread machine is a great option. You can easily find a recipe online or in a bread machine cookbook. Most recipes call for similar ingredients, including water, flour, salt, sugar, yeast, and olive oil. Some recipes also call for bread flour, which has a higher gluten content and will result in a chewier crust.
Instructions for making pizza dough in a bread machine vary depending on the model of machine that you have. However, the general process is to add all of the wet ingredients first, followed by the dry ingredients. Be sure to add the yeast last and not to let it come into contact with any of the other ingredients until the cycle has started.
Most bread machines have a ‘dough’ or ‘manual’ setting that will allow the dough to rise without baking it. You can also use the dough setting on your machine and then bake the pizza dough in a preheated oven. If you are using a recipe that doesn’t call for bread flour, you can switch to the ‘ pasta ‘ setting on your machine which will give the dough a longer knead.
Whether you make your pizza dough in a bread machine or by hand, the key to a good pizza is a hot oven. Preheat your oven to at least 500 degrees Fahrenheit before putting your pizza in to cook. This will ensure a crispy crust and bubbly cheese
