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.

I was looking online for a different bread machine pizza crust recipe and found yours. I love it, and its going to be my goto recipe now. Best of all I can roll it out and its the perfect consistency. Not too tough or soft and tacky. I roll it out in a rectangle and put it on a cookie sheet to feed my crew. It lifts and drapes like a dream. Thanks!

I really love this recipe too Kristy! I ‘m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me know 🙂

What bread machine do you own? We are on a strict budget and can not afford to buy a poor machine the first time. 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
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!
Crystal says
Do you know if this freezes well?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I haven’t tried Crystal but I bet it would! Let me know if you give it a try 🙂

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.

Amy says
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!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
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’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!

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.
Vicki says
Any specific instructions for making the breadsticks
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
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!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
The breadsticks are really good too!
Angel says
Made this last night, super good! Will be my go to dough recipe from now on! I wrote about it in my blog!

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!
