I love making homemade bread's but let's face it, it's time consuming. I have no patience for the whole, mix-rise-knead-punch down-let rise again process and frankly, my bread machine bread tastes just as good, to me, as any hand-made bread!
My guy's just happen to love pizza. Today my son said, "Mom, I love you....thank you for taking out your bread machine again", after I'd just made 2 fresh pizza's.
I thought I would share my pizza dough recipe here, it's so wonderful and so easy!
**I always add liquids, then solids to my bread machine. That's the way that I read to do it when I first got my machine so I carried on with it. To be 100% honest, unless you're using a timer, to put off the actual mixing of the ingredients, I don't see the biggie.
Be sure to do this according to your direction's (unless, like me, you don't care!)**
1C. water
1 tbsp. olive oil (EVOO makes a more flavorful crust, use what'cha got)
1 tsp. salt (I use kosher, it's all I buy)
3C bread flour (If you want whole wheat crust: use half wheat, half regular flour)
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast. (I even have some that says it's for pizza dough, specifically) If you use rapid rise, it won't matter.
Set your machine to dough and let 'er rip!
**I usually let mine sit for about 30 minutes after the buzzer goes off, to let it continue to rise. Then, I punch it down, right in it's pan and let it rest a few minutes before I remove it from the pan. I use floured hands, it's a sticky job!**
The rest is up to you....roll it out...use your hands to smoosh it around...whatever, it's all up to you! Topped with fresh ingredients, it will melt in your mouth!
Till next time...do good thing's!
