Pizza Crust (Bread Machine)

My family loves homemade pizza and using my bread machine to make the dough really takes the work out of it. This recipe make a soft thick crust. Sometimes I sprinkle the crust with garlic salt to add even more flavor. Prep time does not include cycle time, as bread machines vary.

This was a quick, decent tasting crust. I added some onion powder, along with about 1/2 Tbl. Italian seasoning. These additions made all the difference! Without these seasonings, the crust would be very bland-tasting. The good thing about this recipe is that it's a great start to make additions to suit your tastes! I highly suggest adding the extra seasonings to get the most from this crust!

I've been using this recipe for the last 3 months. My DS loves this pizza crust. I pretty much use these ingredients. But also add 1/4 tsp onion powder and 1 tablespoon sugar. I use a rolling pin to roll out the dough (takes 2 minutes). Then I bake the pizza crust (350 convection) for 7 minutes. Remove the crust, brush olive oil on the edges, and add the toppings. The boboli pizza sauce is DH's favorite. Once we get our toppings on, we cook at the same temp as above for 20 minutes.
