Pizza dough in a bread maker for 30 cents
Everyone loves pizza. Dough is $3.30 per pound at the local grocery store.
On Fridays we can make two pizzas. One will be a cheese pizza and the other will be made leftovers from the week (i.e. meatballs from spaghetti, pepperoni from sandwich meat, cheese.
It takes 5 minutes to add all the ingredients to the bread maker pan.
We like to use this recipe. This is for one pizza.
Ingredients
* 1 1/2 cups water
* 2 tablespoons oil
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 2 teaspoons sugar
* 4 cups all-purpose flour or bread machine flour (use either I have seen no difference)
* 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
* 4 teaspoons fast rise yeast
* 2 tablespoons cornmeal (optional). I find it messy to use the cornmeal.
Directions
1. MEASURE all ingredients except cornmeal into bread pan in order listed; Select dough setting. Depending on model or brand times will vary. The bread maker we use takes 1.5 hours.
2. REMOVE dough to lightly floured surface and cover with plastic wrap; Let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
3. SPRINKLE cornmeal on large 16 inch pizza pan or on a pizza stone and press dough into pizza shape; Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
4. SPREAD with desired sauce, seasonings and toppings.
5. BAKE at 425F for 20-30 minutes; I like to partially bake the pizza on a pan for about 10 minutes without the cheese and then add cheese for the remainder of the baking time.
Enjoy your pizza.
