Pizza Dough

This recipe can be done by hand but it turns out even better using a bread maker. 

Use this Pizza Dough to make Pizza, Stromboli, or Calzones.

Pairs great with Brenda’s Fresh Tomato Pizza Sauce or Red Pizza Sauce.

Pizza Dough

To the bowl of a bread maker, add (in order):

1 1/2 cup (12 oz) warm water

1/8 cup dry milk powder

3 tsp sugar

2 tsp yeast

3 3/4 cup (19 oz) flour

1 tsp salt 

2 Tbsp oil

Set bread maker to “dough” setting and select start. The machine will complete mixing, kneading and rising cycles. Remove dough from machine and divide dough to make pizza, Stromboli, or calzones.

Alternate directions if no bread maker:

Add ingredients to the mixing bowl in the order listed above. Mix the ingredients with a sturdy spoon until a shaggy dough begins to form. Then use one hand to knead. Set aside to rest 45 min. Remove from bowl and divide dough to make pizza, Stromboli, or calzones.

Brenda’s Tips:

• Serving size:

  • Pizza: makes two, 15” round OR two, 10” x 15” sheet pans

  • Stromboli: makes five, about 8” squares (before folding)

  • Calzones: makes four, about 9” circles (before folding)

  • Breadsticks: makes a lot (one or two sheet pans, depending how you roll it), or make less of any of the above and turn remainder into breadsticks.
