Bread Machine Pizza Dough

I’m back with another bread machine recipe for you! You guys have been loving my Bread Machine Italian Bread and Bread Machine Fluffy Rolls and so I thought it was time to share one of my family’s favorites – homemade pizza dough!

This homemade pizza dough is inspired by NYC pizza, the best pizza in the world (I said what I said). I’m going to show you how to make the dough in your bread machine and after that, I’ll walk you through how you bake it in the oven. The key is cooking at a high temperature, but I’ll explain that later!

Your bread machine is going to do most of the hard work in this recipe. I use a Zojirushi Home Bakery Maestro Breadmaker which is one of our most used kitchen appliances.

Ingredients for Bread Machine Pizza Dough

  1. water
  2. olive oil
  3. bread flour
  4. sugar
  5. salt
  6. active dry yeast
4 pizza crusts on baking pan.

How to Make Pizza Dough in Bread Machine

First, place all your ingredients into your baking pan, in the order that your manufacturer recommends. Mine is: water, olive oil, bread flour, sugar, salt, active dry yeast.

Now press the COURSE button for BREAD/PIZZA. Now press START. After a little bit (our machine takes about 1 hour, 30 minutes) your pizza dough will be finished. If your bread machine is like mine, it will let out a little jingle to let you know it’s done. Happy time!

Remove dough from baking dish and shape into a ball.

Place dough in a bowl (I like to lightly add some olive oil to my bowl so the dough doesn’t stick) and cover with towel. Allow to rest for 20 minutes in a warm spot. I like to put it near a sunny window during the afternoon.

Now take that big ball and divide it into 2 balls. This recipe will make (2) 12 inch pizzas.

Roll out the dough into a circle that is about 12 inches in diameter. You can just do this with your hands, you don’t need a rolling pin or anything fancy. Repeat for the other dough.

We pre-bake the pizza dough a little bit before we add our pizza sauce and cheese. This prevents the dough from getting soft and soggy once you bake it with the toppings. We bake at a high temperature, 550 degrees for about 3 minutes.

Look at that perfect dough with it’s crust bubbles! Gorgeous!

Now it’s time to add our homemade pizza sauce and cheese. You can use shredded mozzarella or ripped up pieces of fresh mozzarella – it’s really a personal preference. For us it really depends on our pizza mood. Our neighborhood pizzeria uses shredded cheese (like most takeout pizzerias) but the more fancy pizza shops use slices of mozzarella.

Homemade Bread Machine Pizza Dough made with simple pantry ingredients. This New York City style pizza is quick and easy to make!

We continue cooking it at a high temperature, for about 5 more minutes. We check it fairly often to get that brick oven charred crust that we love. Check out this crust. It’s perfect you guys. Perfect pizza!

Cook Time: 1 hour hour 30 minutes minutes
Total Time 1 hour hour 30 minutes minutes
serves 4

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 1/4 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients into your baking pan in the order that your bread machine manufacturer recommends. I listed them in order of my bread machine.
  • Press the course button for Bread/Pizza and then START.
  • After bread machine finishes, place dough ball in a bowl, cover with towel and allow to rest for 20 minutes in a warm spot. Split dough into 2 balls, this will make (2) 12 inch pizzas.
  • Place the dough on a round pizza pan and stretch out into a circle that is about 12 inches in diameter. Repeat for 2 pizzas.
  • Let's make a pizza:
    Pre-bake the pizza dough on the pizza pan at 550°F for 3 minutes to keep it from getting soggy before you add any sauce or cheese. Note: If your oven doesn't go to 550, do as high as you can but you will need to add additional time.
    Add your pizza sauce and cheese. You can use shredded mozzarella or fresh mozzarella, depending on your preference. Bake for 5 more minutes, checking often to get that crispy, charred crust.
