Bread Machine Basic Pizza Dough

Submitted by Zuleika L.

"First made in August, 2003. Absolutely the best pizza dough I've ever made. I made calzones for the first time with this. I like to add sugar to the dough or maybe garlic or some other spice for added flavor. Even cheese is great!"

I make pizza at least once a week with this recipe and it's fantastic. I roll the dough out on my pizza stone, pierce it with a fork and bake at 500 degrees for 8 minutes. I then remove it from the oven and put the toppings on, return to oven on a higher shelf and bake another 8 minutes. Perfect every time! Wonderful crust!!!!

Our favourite way pizza crust recipe. Works well both using it directly from the machine after the dough finishes, or letting it sit under a tea towel and rise for an hour or two. It rolls well at the edges to make a stuffed crust too!

I couldn't find my regular recipe and tried this one. If I make it again, I'll add at least 50% more salt to the recipe. Also, I used wheat flour for 1/3 of the flour. Thanks.

I always make my pizza dough in my bread machine. This was a great recipe and makes a terrific crust on the bottom using the cornmeal. I did add a couple of teaspoons of sugar for sweetness as a preference.
