Bread Machine Pizza Dough

Homemade pizza is cheaper and healthier than the store-bought kind and it’s really easy to customize it to your family’s taste. Want tons of cheese? Go ahead and add it. Want piles of pepperoni? Do it!

Making pizza at home is a fun way to pass a lazy Friday evening with your family and of course, it’s always a win for the kids.

Using your bread machine to mix the dough makes it even easier and less of a mess. Why not let the machine do the work while you prep the toppings or chop the salad?

Friday night family pizza night might just become a new tradition with this super simple recipe.

Can Yeast Be Kept in the Freezer?

Yes, this is the best way to keep yeast fresh for the longest amount of time. I like to purchase my yeast in bulk and keep it in the freezer, with a smaller amount kept in a jar in the fridge to use as needed.

Can You Freeze the Pizza Dough?

Yes! You can make multiple batches of the dough, then simply, wrap each finished dough in plastic wrap and place it into a freezer bag. Label the freezer bag and place it in the freezer.

Once you are ready to use it, let it thaw, then roll it out and bake as usual.

Should You Pre-Bake the Crust?

Some recipes will tell you to pre-bake and some will say it isn’t necessary. Basically you can do it either way, but as long as you get the temperature and cooking time right without over loading the dough with too many ingredients, pre-baking shouldn’t be needed.

How to Make Bread Machine Pizza Dough:

Place ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed or as directed by the manufacturer.

Program the bread machine for the dough cycle.

Once the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and place in a lightly greased bowl, turning the dough once to coat.

Cover the dough and allow it to rest for ½ hour.

Press the dough down and shape it as desired for your recipe.

Note: If the dough does not remain shaped as desired, allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes and then shape again.

Bread Machine Soft Pretzels

Homemade Soft Pretzels, in my humble opinion, are a great luxury because they take a little extra time and effort, but never fear because they’re always worth it in the end.

I say that they’re a luxury because having an 18 month old makes baking more than the basic muffin recipe a rare event around here.

I know one day my kids will all be grown and I’ll have all the time that I could ever need to make homemade baked goods, but for now, I only get to make these homemade soft pretzels on rare occasion.

If you want to make soft pretzels and you don’t have a bread machine, then check out my recipe for Homemade Soft Pretzels.

Using your bread machine to make soft pretzels is as easy as throwing the ingredients into the pan and turning on the dough cycle.

If you haven’t made soft pretzels at home, then I would urge you to give it a try because they’re world’s apart from frozen or store-bought. They’re melt in your mouth good and will disappear in a heartbeat.

How to Make Bread Machine Soft Pretzels:

Add the ingredients to the bread machine in the order listed (according to your manufacturer’s instructions).

Set your machine to the dough cycle. During the first kneading cycle, check to see if the dough has enough water. If more water is needed, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of warm water.

Right before the dough cycle is complete, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spritz the paper lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

When the dough cycle is done, punch down the dough slightly and flip out onto a lightly floured surface.

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.

Roll each piece of dough into long even strands, approximately 20 inches long.

Twist into a pretzel shape.

In a stock pot, bring the 8 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the baking soda.

Gently drop the pretzels (no more than two at a time) into the boiling water.

Boil for 10 to 15 seconds and then remove from the water using a slotted spatula.

Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with Pretzel Salt.

Bake the pretzels in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Bread Machine White Bread

We all love a fresh slice of buttery bread hot from the oven, right? However, we don’t always have the time to baby the dough all day, which is why I love using my bread machine. It’s really as simple as throwing all of the ingredients into the machine, closing the lid and hitting a button.

It really is quite amazing that you can have soft and fluffy homemade bread with such little effort. The only hard part is remembering to get all of the ingredients into the bread machine early enough, so that your bread is ready at the appropriate time.

Once you see how easy it is to make homemade bread this way, you may want to make this a weekly ritual. Also, if you can’t afford a new bread machine, you may have luck finding them at a local thrift store. They are usually pretty abundant and cost a small fraction of the full price, so why not take a chance one one of them?

How to Make Bread Machine White Bread:

Tips for Making Bread in a Bread Machine:

• Check the temperature of the warm water on your wrist and make sure that it is warm, but not hot. You want it to be approximately 110 F.
• Be sure to add the ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed on the recipe.
• Once the cycle has begun and the dough has formed, you can check it to make sure that the dough is the right consistency. If it seems a bit dry, you can add 1 tbsp of water, if it seems a bit wet, you can add 1 tbsp of flour.
• Be sure to allow your bread to cool before slicing. This will help you to make nice even slices. You also want to make sure that you are using a serrated bread knife.
• You can store your leftover bread in an airtight container or ziplock bag for 3-5 days.
