Bread Machine Pizza Dough

Ingredients

• 2 c flour (I use King Aurthur Gluten Free Flour for Gluten free pizza dough)
• 1 Tbs butter, softened
• 1 Tbs sugar
• 1 tsp yeast
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ cups plus 2 Tbs water (105-110 degrees)
• Doubled (for 2 pizzas):
• 4 c flour
• 2 Tbs butter, softened
• 2 Tbs sugar
• 2 tsp yeast
• 2 tsp salt
• 1⅓ c water (105-110 degrees)

Instructions

1. 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).
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Depending on the size of pizza pan or pizza stone you are using, you may not need all of the dough.
5. 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.

Best Bread - HANDS DOWN!

BEST bread ever! 

Ingredients: 

1 1/4 cup warm milk (microwave for 1 minute)

2 T sugar

2 tsp yeast

2 T softened butter

1 tsp salt

1 egg

3 cups flour (my favorite gluten free flour substitute is King Authur Multi-purpose flour)  

Microwave the milk for one minute.

Dump all the ingredients into the bread machine. 

Set your bread machine to dough and let it do all the work. 

After an hour and a half...sprinkle out some flour and dump dough on top. 

Roll dough into a rectangle, about an inch thick. 

Use your handy dandy pizza cutter and cut into three equal pieces.  

Braid!  Fold ends under. 

Place on greased cookie sheet.  Set oven to 350 degrees F - let dough rise while oven is preheating.  Bake for 20-22 minutes, until golden brown. 

This bread is great for about 2-3 days.  It is good as toast or french toast.  Our entire family loves this bread.
