Here at our little urban homestead, I enjoy making things from scratch when I can, like homemade bread maker pizza dough. Don’t get me wrong, people…when the occasion calls for it, I am definitely known to do things the easy way. For example I love cake from a mix and rarely bother to make that from scratch since cakes from a mix are sooo yummy.

Anyway, I do enjoy pizza crust made from scratch, so that is one of those things I pretty much never buy pre-made if I am making pizza at home. The booklet that came with my bread maker has a recipe for pizza dough, but I tried it out and it just didn’t do it for me. I kept tweaking it and eventually came up with a recipe that I was happy with.

I love that I can just throw the ingredients in the bread maker and an hour later the dough is done! It. Is. Awesome.

But…before we get started on that, I want to tell you something else that is awesome that you can do with that dough: my Easy BLT Pizza Recipe! You will love it! After you make your dough, be sure to give it a try!

Now then, on to the pizza dough recipe. Get out your bread makers, peeps!

Hint: Once I put the toppings on the pizza, I like to melt a little butter (1-2 Tablespoons) and use a pastry brush and brush the butter around the edges of the crust. Then I sprinkle the edges with a little bit of garlic salt.
