Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal
- 3 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
For the Pizza
- Olive oil (for drizzling)
- Pizza sauce (amount as desired)
- Shredded cheese (amount as desired)
- Desired toppings (e.g., pepperoni, vegetables, olives)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Add all dough ingredients into the bread machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions, selecting the dough setting. Allow the machine to mix, knead, and proof the dough until the cycle is complete.
- Prebake the Crust: After the dough cycle finishes and the bread machine beeps, remove the dough and press it evenly onto a greased pizza pan. Drizzle the crust lightly with olive oil to prevent drying and bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for 10 minutes to set the crust.
- Add Toppings and Bake: Remove the prebaked crust from the oven. Spread your desired amount of pizza sauce over the crust, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly, and add any preferred toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust turns golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade bread machine pizza!
Notes
- Using cornmeal on the pan helps prevent sticking and adds a slight texture to the crust.
- Make sure you use the dough setting on your bread machine to ensure proper kneading and rising.
- You can customize the pizza toppings according to your taste preferences.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake a few extra minutes before adding toppings.
- Allow the dough to rest briefly if it feels too sticky before pressing it onto the pizza pan.
