Pizza Dough for Bread Machines
Experienced bread makers should be able to adapt the recipe to other methods.
1 C +2T water
1 ¼ t salt
1 ½ T olive oil
3 C bread flour
2 T dry milk
1 pkg yeast
Combine ingredients according to bread machine's directions. Process on dough cycle. Remove dough from machine and divide into 6 equal portions (I weigh portions-each should be about 4 oz.) Roll each into a 9" circle. Pierce all over with fork to eliminate puffing while baking.
I bake each crust in a pizza oven for 5 minutes before adding other ingredients. Experiment with regular oven at 350° or 400°. Selections for toppings follow. Bake 5-15 minutes longer to finish. You will need to experiment with your baking situation to see what works for you.
