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.

Trish - Mom On Timeout says
We just made this last week Maria! It’s still our favorite lol!
Donna says
Wondering if you have more bread machine recipes. Have a machine but never use it. Thanks
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I actually use mine quite a bit but never post any because I’m not sure how many people actually have one lol! I guess I need to add that to my to-do list so thank you for the reminder 🙂

I just started the dough following the top recipe for 2 crusts and checked on it a few minutes later and it looked like sand. I scrolled down and there was another copy of the recipe that called for 2 cups of flour and 1 1/3c water, which is the amount of water the double batch called for. I adjusted and added more, but you may want to correct whichever is wrong.
Kezia says
I found the water amount on this WAY off. Made the recipe for 1
Angel Shidaker says
Are there nutritional facts for this?
Kendall says
Hi. Found your pizza dough recipe on Pinterest. Looks delicious! I didn’t read through every single post. But, could the butter be substituted with olive oil?
UK Escort Blog says

some research on this. We got a grab a book from our local liibrary but
I think I learned mlre from this post. I’m very glpad to see such excellent info being shared freely out there.
Zin says
Excuse me I speak french so there are word that I don’t understand :
What mean 1 Tbls, 1 tsp and 2 c ?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
1 Tbls – 1 tablespoon, 1 tsp – 1 teaspoon, 2 c – 2 cups Hope that helps!
Kathryn says
Quick question. I have made this dough a bunch of times
Love love love it!!
However, now 2 times (not in a row) the dough doesn’t seem to mix properly. It’s not my bread maker cause it still makes bread and I have made dough in between the 2 times it has done this. It’s all flakey.
Any ideas why this could be happening?
My only thought is I didn’t let the butter soften enough?
Thoughts? Thanks!!!!
Kim says
I can’t wait to try this pizza dough! My husband and I have been making pizza in the crockpot lately and I haven’t been real happy with the dough we’ve been using. I’ll be making a few batches and freezing them. Thanks for the recipe!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Pizza in the crockpot? Tell me more! That sounds amazing!
Stacey Demrigian says
would love to know how well it freezes and any special way to freeze?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I have had readers freeze the dough Stacey. Just flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and then put in a freezer ziploc bag. Thanks!
Kelly says
Can I store the dough in the fridge for a day before I use it?
Timothy says
Your dough looks good, I am going to try this out, but I think I have to make it for many times in order to make bread like yours.
Jennifer says
Apparently the best pizza crust I’ve ever made! My husband couldn’t get enough of it. The kids liked it to, but for my husband to say it’s very good, means it is very good!!! I used this website to help me make a deep dish style pizza and it was all just amazing http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2010/01/recipe-vaughns-perfect-skillet-pizza/34064/
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yay! So glad you and your family enjoyed the recipe!

Just an FYI – one of your ads keeps automatically sending me away from your site to iTunes. It’s really annoying, and I can’t access your recipe on my phone because of it. Probably not something you’d like as a blogger.
