Bread Machine Pizza Dough

I think the most impressive thing I can say about this Pizza Dough is, my teenage sons always asked me to make it! A bread machine's dough cycle takes 90 minutes, but you can also set the timer in the morning to have the dough ready after work. This is a good basic recipe and now that I'm not making it for teenagers, sometimes (like today) I even sub 1/4 C whole wheat flour. That makes it healthy-right?:@)

One quarter of the one pound recipe makes a personal pan pizza. I've made a half batch and quarter batch in the bread machine and it works out fine.

Pizza Dough-from the cookbook that came with my Breadman Plus Bread Machine
1 lb-makes 12" pizza or 4 personal pizzas
3/4 C warm water
1 Tblsp olive oil
2 1/4 C A/P flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp yeast

1 1/2 lb-makes 15" pizza
1 1/8 C warm water
1 1/2 Tblsp olive oil

1 1/2 tsp yeast

2 lb-makes (2) 12" pizzas
1 1/2 C warm water
2 Tblsp olive oil
4 1/4 C A/P flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp yeast

1. Add all ingredients to bread pan in order given.
2. Set to dough cycle.
3. Use immediately or place in bowl greased with olive oil, turn to coat and store covered in fridge. Or, freeze, then wrap in plastic wrap.
4. To thaw, put in fridge overnight, loosen the plastic wrap a bit so the dough has room to expand.
5. I bake my pizza at 450 degrees for about 12 minutes.

Eat well and have a happy day:@)
