So here we go your easy recipe for bread machine pizza dough.
Bread Maker Pizza Dough Recipe
Depending on your bread maker the settings for the dough may be different.
In one machine the pizza dough setting takes 50 minutes in the other about 45. You will need to factor this into the timings for making this.
Our timings go -> put all the ingredients in the bread maker before heading out on the afternoon school run with a timer to start at 4:30pm.
Then when we get home around 5:30 the dough is ready and we can split it into individual pizzas (this recipe makes 2 12inch or 4 6inch pizzas).
The secret is to let the base cook for a little for a crusty base before adding the homemade sauce which is so quick you can make whilst it cooks and have some time to spare!
Add our homemade sauce (which we freeze a batch off to use) and then add some toppings and cheese.
It’s a great way for an easy Friday night family dinner.
