Bread Machine Pizza Dough tastes so much better than frozen dough. We use it on our pizzas for “Friday Night” pizza night.

Bread Machine Pizza Dough
Our menu plans and schedule are a little bit messed up right now. I’m a “stockpiler” ….. No, not like the kind you see on an episode of Hoarders! I believe in keeping a very well-stocked pantry. I hate the idea of not having whatever I need – and if I decide on a whim to make something, I don’t want to have to run to the store to get it.
Since we decided that we are moving to Arizona, I have bought less and I am trying very hard to use what we already have. I really don’t want to move a bunch of food … and I hate even more, the idea of wasting it. I am conflicted ….. the stockpiler in me sees my supply getting low and my logic kicks in and says don’t you dare buy all that extra stuff. *sigh*
So you know where this is going, right? I believe you can put most anything on a pizza … in a bun … or in a tortilla – and have yourself a meal. I have a lot of flour (I buy 25 lbs. at a time!) and yeast (I buy 2 lbs. at a time – What can I say, I bake … a lot!) to use – so any guesses what we’re making?
Making Bread Machine Pizza Dough
If I let my family, they would probably eat pizza 2 or 3 times a week. No joke! We love coming up with new pizza ideas …. sometimes, the crazier, the better! I have searched high and low to find the “perfect” pizza crust …… Personally, I like Pizza Hut’s crust – it’s crisp, with just enough chew to it. I literally feel like I have tried every copy-cat recipe known to man – and about a year or two ago, I found “the one”. I refuse to use any other dough recipe. I’ve made a few adjustments, but otherwise, why mess with perfection?! Sometimes, I season it a bit differently with some Italian seasoning … but, this is by far (in my humble opinion), the best pizza dough EVER. It’s not exactly like Pizza Hut, but very close with the crispy crust and a good “chew”.
So, what are ya waiting for? Give it a try! You’ll be glad you did! ๐

Now we're talking! Think it's about time I use my Dad's bread machine ๐
We love homemade pizza and I could eat quite a few times a week. I love your directions for using the bread machine bc some people are intimidated with working with yeast. Thank you for sharing this with Foodie Friends Friday. I am sharing this on my Walking on Sunshine FB page today!
Found you via Craftinary linky. My husband loves pizza and wants me to make it at least once a week. Your recipe is similar to mine so I gonna tweek mine a little to match yours. The garlic an onion powder sounds yummy and pre-baking the crust seems brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for stoping by! The garlic and onion powder are just enough flavor – I hope you enjoy it ๐

Hi Jamie,
Found you at the Let's Get Social Sunday Linky Party and am a new follower. Pizza is always a good meal, or snack. The crust is the deal maker or breaker and yours sounds fantastic.
Bye for now, Darlene

Do you use bread flour or all purpose?
You can use either, Erin! I usually use all-purpose, but I have used bread flour with great results as well!
