Pizza Dough Recipes for the Bread Machine
A few of you were asking about the pizza dough recipe I use in my bread machine. Here is the one from my bread machine book that we’ve been enjoying the last couple of weeks.
Pizza Dough (2 lb)
1 1/3 cups water (80 to 90 degrees F)
1 teaspoons honey or sugar
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 1/4 cups bread flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast, active dry, instant or bread machine
Please ingredients, in order listed, in bread pan fitted with kneading paddle. Place in bread machine. Select Dough/Pizza Dough. Select dough size. Press Start to mix, knead and rise. When Dough Cycle is completed, deflate dough and use to make your favorite pizza. We actually get two pizzas out of one batch.

We’ve also used this recipe for Pizza with Wheat Crust in the bread machine and really enjoyed it.
Many years ago my husband use to make a pizza dough in the bread machine using beer and it was so good. I’ve found a similar recipe here that we will try next.
Anyone else have some great pizza dough recipes for the bread machine you’d like to share?

Oh, I’m so glad you posted this! Thank you!!
Here is our family favorite. Comes out great when I use Bob’s Red Mill Organic Whole Wheat Flour. Not so well with other brands of flour.

I have a ton of recipes too. I’ll find my favorite and post it later. It uses cornmeal.
But I have a ? – I need a new machine. What machine do you have and do you love it/recommend it? Thanks!
I just recently bought a new machine made by Cuisinart. We chose that particular one as it has a gluten free cycle for my son. I’m really pleased with it so far.

Thanks for posting this! I’m going to give it a try for this Friday’s “Pizza Night”.
I use one similar but use garlic salt and other spices :) yummy
A bread machine!! Must have a bread machine!
Actually I’ve made pizza dough once without a machine and it turned out pretty well. My girls loved helping me make the pizza. I must do this again soon. But it sure would be easier with a bread machine!
How do you keep the baking pizza from rising so HIGH! When I made pizza dough, roll it out, and get it in the oven, it looks like a huge loaf of bread baking..how do you keep it relatively flat?
Try adding some Italian seasoning to your pizza dough! It’s delish!
Here’s my favorite recipe, which has instructions for making the dough by hand, with a food processor, or a bread machine. We just use the Kitchen Aid – very easy! This dough tastes great!

I mourned for weeks after my bread machine died. I don’t have room for one in my house now so I’ve gotten used to doing pizza dough by hand. It really doesn’t take that much time or effort. Though it is more than a bread machine.
Hi Laura- Yummy menu this week!! : )
I am so excited I found your site. I am an organization junkie myself so I LOVE reading your ideas. Then I just read that your son is gluten free, as is mine. I am really looking forward to reading more. I have a question though. On pizza night, what do you do for your son? It looks like your pizza dough recipe is not gluten free. Do you make a separate pizza for him? Do you give him a frozen pizza? (This always seems to be the case at my house, so I was wondering what you do.) Thanks for any ideas!
I had to use an extra 3/4 cups of water.
:)
It was great!!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for this recipe! I used it tonight and made what I consider to be my first successful homemade pizza! I posted it with links and credit to your site at
