This Bread Machine Pizza Dough recipe is one recipe that is very dear to my heart because it requires very little work. It is quick to make, easy and it's super delicious.
Certainly making your own pizza dough from scratch is so so simple and so much fun with the bread

machine!

Ingredients:

1 cup flat beer
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast

Method:

Put beer, butter, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast in a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough setting and press START. ( My bread machine takes 1 hr 30 minutes )
Brush a 10 or 12 inch pizza pan with olive oil.
Remove dough from bread machine when cycle is complete. Press dough to cover the pizza pan with floured fingers.
Brush the top of the dough lightly with olive oil.
Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 200 degree C.
Bake the pizza dough in the oven for 10 minutes to ensure you get a crispy crust.
Spread the pizza dressing ( I use Thousand Island dressing ) over the top of the pizza crust.
Put your favourite toppings over the crust.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven until the crust is lightly brown and crispy on the outside, about 15 minutes.
Serve the pizza hot.

If you don't intend to use the dough right away, wrap the balls individually in plastic and refrigerate (do not freeze ) for up to 3 days. Return to room temperature by leaving them out, covered in a damp cloth for 2 to 3 hours before use.

To make whole wheat dough , use 2/3 white flour to 1/3 whole wheat and double the yeast used in the standard pizza dough recipe.
