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.

Aren’t bread machine’s wonderful! Your dough looks good.
I will be trying this over the weekend – I LOVE my bread machine – you’ll have to check out the orange marmalade I made using it last weekend!
Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been looking for a recipe for machine-dough and can’t wait to try this one!!
oh fun, we love making home made pizza. In a perfect world I would have a kitchen big enough for all the great things I want:)
Hi Trish – saw your link at A Little Knick Knack Link Party and had to stop by for a better look. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Can’t wait to try this! Please stop by my blog to say hello. I love to make new bloggy friends. Let’s keep in touch with GFC/LF.

Looks amazing! Homemade pizza is the best!
I am going to try this recipe. I didn’t like the one that came with my bread maker and so I just never made it again. Thanks for sharing!
Does this make a thick or thin crust pizza? I have been trying to find a thin crust pizza dough and just haven’t found one that we like – would love to give this a try!
Found you via the blog hop – please “hop” on over and check me out!
Thanks!

Hi Carol! I would say that this makes a medium crust but you can roll it out to your desired thickness. Hope that helps!
You know we have a pizza oven outside so I’m going to have to bookmark this recipe. Thanks for sharing at DIYbyDesign.
Time to dig my bread machine out of the basement! This is a great tutorial! Thank you for sharing at oopsey daisy!
Fabulous. Looks so good. Saw you on Not Your Ordinary Recipes linky party.
THANK you for this!!! I have been looking for a great pizza dough recipe for my bread machine.

Mammy Made: Mint Stuff I’ve Seen
Made this for supper tonight and the whole family loved it. I doubled the recipe and made 1 pizza and bread sticks. Thanks for the awesome recipe.
love it!!!
Just made this recipe last week and it was amazing. The crust was tasty and it seemed to rise well. I’ve had trouble making pizza dough that ends up being tough but this one was just perfect. I will be making it again for sure!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Kristy!
Made this last night, super good! Will be my go to dough recipe from now on! I wrote about it in my blog!

Any specific instructions for making the breadsticks
Hi Vicki! Prepare the dough as instructed, roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick, use a pizza cutter to cut into sticks and bake exactly as you would the pizza. I like to brush on some butter and garlic salt on mine. Good luck!
The breadsticks are really good too!
Trish,
Thanks for the recipe! Living in rural Oklahoma, I made the classic mistake of starting a recipe without checking the ingredients in the pantry! So, I included a package of Jiffy cornbread mix and about 1/2 cup of oatmeal. It turned out great – kind of a multigrain crust.
I’m going to have to try this; I’ve been on the lookout for a good pizza dough recipe. And this one looks pretty easy too with the bread machine doing all the mixing. Thanks so much for linking up to Inspire Me Wednesday, Trish!
Hi, I just wanted to let you know I made this today, and my family loved our pizzas! I make homemade pizzas frequently but have always bought the crust…organic yes, but I still wanted to find a good recipe to make my own instead, and this one is a keeper! Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Amy! Isn’t is so easy too? I love using my bread machine :) Thanks so much for letting me know!
I really enjoy your blog;thanks for the wonderful information
Tries this recipe last night and it was awesome. There was enough dough left over to make my son a little personal sized pizza for lunch today.
Made this over the weekend and loved it – thank you! :)
I’m so happy to hear that Amanda! Thanks for stopping by!
Do you know if this freezes well?
I haven’t tried Crystal but I bet it would! Let me know if you give it a try :)
What bread machine do you own? We are on a strict budget and can not afford to buy a poor machine the first time. :)
Hi Sarah! I’ve had my bread machine for almost 9 years now (it was a wedding present). It’s an Oster – they don’t even make that model any more but I haven’t had any problems with it. If you have a Costco or Sam’s Club near by I would suggest buying from there because if you have any problems you can easily return it. Good luck!
