Bread Machine Pizza Dough

Yields: Two small personal pizzas

Ingredients

2 cups bread flour

1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

4 tbsp olive oil

2/3 cups filtered water

1 tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp sea salt

Procedure

1.- Pour water, oil, sugar, salt and yeast into your bread machine container.  Stir to combine all the ingredients.

2.- Add the flour and choose the setting for dough.  Let the cycle finish and let the dough in your bread machine for about 1 hour, so it can rise a little more. 

When you are ready to make your pizza, roll it, stretch it and bake it at 400-425 ºF degrees for 10-15 min until the edges start to brown. 

Enjoy!

You can keep portions of this dough in the fridge (or up to 5 days) or freezer, which means a homemade dinner is always just minutes away.

 Everyone can choose their own toppings, making it easy to please picky eaters while still serving a fresh, homemade meal.

It’s comfort food, convenience, and fun all in one — exactly what weeknight dinners should be.
