Been using my bread maker to make pizza dough and make pizza at home. Cheaper and more rewarding then ordering out.
This is like, reason #73 why I should definitely NOT get a bread maker. I lack the will power…
Yeah, stay away from bread makers, they’re horrible. I got one during Covid and I would start it after dinner in a Saturday, and go play video games. This bread maker caused a good year of 4 hour gaming sessions b fore there was any leftover to put away. An entire effing loaf. at midnight. Every Saturday.
Looks amazing.
Today was actually the first day this week that I didn’t make myself a pizza…
I’m taking a couple weeks off work, and I wanted to start off with making a pizza. The store was out of small size tomato puree packs for the sauce, so I got a big one. Spent all week making pizzas to use up all the sauce before it went bad.
Funny enough I didn’t get tired of eating pizza tho. Might make another tomorrow.
Some more pizzas I’ve done.
Do you have any good dough recipes?
I use this recipe to make 2 thick crust pan pizzas:
- Flour: 420 g (3 1⁄2 cups)
- Water: 285 g (2 1⁄4 cups)
- Yeast: 4g (1 1⁄2 tsp)
- Salt: 8g (1 1⁄2 tsp)
- Olive Oil: 16 g (1 1⁄4 tbsp)
It works for thin crust too, just reduce the quantities by 25-50%.
Homemade pizza dough (and lean bread in general) is really easy to make at home by hand. The day before you want pizza, just mix everything together into a rough sticky dough ball, let it rest a few minutes, then knead until it’s smooth. Then stick it in the fridge overnight or up to 5 days or so. More time in the fridge means more fermentation and more flavor. After 5 days, it’ll start taking on slight sourdough qualities (though if you want an actual sourdough crust, you’ll need a sourdough starter).
Going to give it a go. Thanks!
My first thought before I read the rest of the post was “how did they fit an entire pizza in a bread maker?” 😅
It’s actually a pizza maker. OP keeps popping in nothing but dough and out pops a whole meat lovers pie.
You don’t even need a bread maker. Couple cups of flour, yeast, oil and salt with some warm water in a bowl mixer makes most excellent pizza dough.
