Equipment
- 1 Bread machine
- 1 Saucepan optional, if you are making homemade pizza sauce
- 2 13 to 15-inch Pizza pans
- 1 Pizza wheel slicer optional
Ingredients
- 1⅔ cups water
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice bottled is fine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons dry milk
- 4½ cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Pizza Sauce
- 2 6-ounce cans tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
- ½ to 1 teaspoon sugar or to taste
- ¼ cup water
Toppings for Pizza (may include mozzarella cheese, sliced vegetables, pepperoni, whatever you like)
Instructions
- Place the ingredients in the machine in the order listed (this is important). Use the dough setting on your bread machine.
- While the bread machine is mixing the pizza dough, mix all ingredients in a small saucepan. Stir and heat on medium until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Set aside to cool and use on your pizzas when they are ready for toppings.
- When the dough cycle has almost completed, grease two round pizza pans. (I like to use the wrapper from a stick of butter and dip it in butter-flavored Crisco to grease.)
- When the cycle has completed, remove the dough from the bread machine pan. Divide the dough in half.
- Rotating the dough as you stretch it, turn each pan in a circular motion until the edge of the dough reaches the edge of the pan. Raise the edge of the dough slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Spread pizza sauce over the dough, then sprinkle with the toppings of your choice.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown around the edges.
- If you would like to bake two pizzas at once, place one pizza on the upper rack of your oven on the right side. Place the other pizza on the lower rack on the left side. Half way through baking, rotate each pizza to the other location.
