Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make your pizza dough:
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F to 120°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own pizza dough using a bread machine:
- Start by adding the warm water to the bread machine bucket. Make sure that the water is not too hot as it can kill the yeast.
- Next, add the olive oil, sugar, and salt to the water. These ingredients will enhance the flavor of your dough.
- Carefully add the bread flour on top of the liquid ingredients. Do not stir, just let the flour sit on top.
- Finally, sprinkle the active dry yeast over the bread flour. It’s best to create a small well in the flour and place the yeast in there, ensuring it doesn’t come into contact with the liquid prematurely.
- Close the bread machine lid and select the dough setting. Start the machine and let it work its magic!
- Once the dough is ready (usually around one hour), take it out and place it on a flour-dusted surface. Knead it gently for a minute or two.
- Your dough is now ready! Roll it out to your desired thickness and shape, then add your favorite toppings.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, about 12-15 minutes.
