Pizza Hut Style Pizza Dough (Bread Machine)

Cullinaryjudge's Note:

I came across the recipe from a copy cat recipe source. The 2 hours includes dough cycle time. This is one of the best pizza dough recipes I have found.

• Total Time: 2 hrs 20 mins
• Prep Time: 2 hrs
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 1⁄3; cups water
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons cornmeal
• 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon msg (Accent*)
• 1 ½ teaspoons bread machine yeast

Directions:

1. Add ingredients (except for cornmeal) to machine bread pan in order as per manufacturer's instructions.
2. Set to "Dough" cycle.
3. Lightly grease one 9 x 13-inch pan and sprinkle with cornmeal.
4. When the dough cycle is complete, roll out dough and place in pan.
5. Let rest in pans for 10-15 minutes.
6. Add toppings of your choice.
7. Bake at 350°F until done (approximately 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of toppings).
8. I make the pizza in 9x13 rectangular pans rather than the round pizza pans, because the squares pieces are easier to reheat and pack in school lunches.

THIS was a really nice recipe for pizza dough. I did use your 9x13 pan idea - and it was NICE for a change of pace! I omitted the Accent (because of MSG) - and added extra garlic. MMMMMMM. We had to bake this 30-40 minutes - and our toppings weren't very thick, so I'd encourage anyone else who tries this to just bake till done, of course (or go higher temp. for 20 mins.. :) Next time I will brush the crusts w/ butter (or spray w/ butter-flavored spray), then dust w/ cornmeal & Italian seasonings before baking. We enjoyed this a lot! Thanks for sharing!

Tried the pizza dough and liked it very much.I had to change the temp to 400 and cook it for about 20-25 minutes.

This is now my standard quick pizza crust recipe. I use 1 cup whole wheat flour and a tablespoon of gluten to give it more body. I don't use Accent, but the onion and garlic powder are a nice touch. Depending on what kind of pizza I am making, I sometimes throw in some basil and oregano as well. I always cook the pizza for 15 minutes without cheese, then add the cheese for the last ten minutes. This keeps it from getting too browned.
