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.

Amanda Cain says
Best bread maker pizza dough ever! My entire family agreed that this is now our go to recipe. Turned out perfectly
Shannon Golemme says
I made the double batch of dough for our family of six this evening. The pizza was absolutely gorgeous! Puffed up just right. Excellent texture and taste. This will be a bookmarked recipe for me. Thank you for sharing!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you so much Shannon!
Cathy says
Never ordering take out pizza again. Made this tonight for the first time and out of this world
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you so much Cathy! We love this recipe!
Louise says
This is the best pizza crust! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Colleen says
Best pizza crust I have ever made! I did add 3 tsp garlic powder and 2 tsp Italian seasoning for double crust recipe when I made the dough which made it perfect for our Italian meat sauce pizza. This is going to be my go to pizza crust from now on.
Amanda says
Wow, tried this tonight on my bread machine dough setting. Amazing crust. I doubled the recipe and made 5 mini pizzas all different kinds. The crust was amazing. Pillowy in the middle and cracker on the bottom. And we cook with a toaster oven. We are picky about our crust and this was the best!
Audra says
This turned out amazing! My kids loved how this turned out. Only note I would add is I did have to add a touch more water while it was in the mixing stage. I believe this is due to the altitude here. I am at 6,035 ft here. But other wise it is wonderful. Even at high altitude.
Wendy says
I absolutely love this dough recipe. I’ve rated it before but wanted to rate it again with a tweak. Instead of the yeast I add Red Star Platinum Superior Baking Yeast Instant Sourdough yeast and culture. I absolutely cannot get enough sour dough but don’t have it in me to get a starter going and keeping it alive. This stuff is great and paired with this recipe, winner winner pizza dinner!
Robynne says
I’m just one person, so can I reduce the recipe by half without adversely affecting the taste or texture? I can’t wait to try it!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yes! You sure can!
Craig says
Can you use this dough on a pizza stone?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yes, you sure can!
Gale says
Just purchased a bread machine and I have made a few loaves of bread that I was not happy with then I decided to make pizza crust and WOW! This recipe is so easy and the crust was delicious, I will no longer be buying store bought crust since this was so easy and I had all of the ingredients on hand. Do you have a good bread recipe for bread machines? I would love to find one.
Ronda says
I needed something quick without leaving to go shop. I found your recipe. Dumped it in the bread maker (I have not used for 7years).
Omgosh! It was absolutely amazing!
Wish I could have posted a pic
I cooked it in a cast iron skillet
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you so much Ronda!
Dustin says
The best pizza in town! According to my family. Thanks!
Brittany says
If you do not have yeast, is there something to substitute it with?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Unfortunately, no.
