Pizza Dough for Pizza or Calzones (Bread Machine)

"A bread machine makes having homemade pizza as easy as using a storebought pizza! I use this for pizzas and calzones. Prep and cook time do not include time in dough cycle. My dough cycle is 1 hour and 30 minutes long. This recipe makes a ton of dough if you like a thinner crust like me, it makes 1 large thick crust pizza, it also makes six 6-inch calzones. It is crispy and flavorful, I like to sub some whole wheat flour for real artisan taste!"

directions

  • Place all ingredients except cornmeal into your bread machine according to your manufacturer's directions. For my bread machine it is in the order listed above.
  • Once dough cycle has finished, turn dough out onto a floured surface. Preheat oven to 400°F and roll or stretch dough out into a 12 inch round (medium crust) or several small rounds or a large rectangle. Place pizza on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Sprinkle cornmeal over top of dough. Bake pizza for 10 minutes at 400ºF.
  • Remove from oven and cover with toppings. Reduce oven temp to 350ºF and bake 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and browned.

  1. Made 2 batches and had "Make your own panzerotti" night. I used half beer and half water. The beer gives it a really nice restsurant flavour. My family of 6 all loved them. I brushed olive oil on them out of the oven. Making them again tonight, hungry just thinking about it!
     
  2. Used it for pizza and everyone raved! I can't wait to try it with calzones. Definitely a little sticky, but I just kept flouring my hands lightly as I patted it out. I skipped the cornmeal and the prebaking. I put the sauce and toppings on and baked the whole pizza for 22 minutes at 400°F. I used water but can't wait to try it with beer. I think I'm going to try increasing the seasoning a little too. Thanks for posting!!
     
  3. YUMMY!!! Made the dough in the bread machine for my man when he was gonna make a pot pie casserole. Used water not beer, basil in place of ital seasoning, and all purp flour in place of bread flour. also added a little bit of fried garlic. Turned out great!!!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful dough recipe!!
     
  4. I used this recipe for Calzones using a bread machine. It turned out wonderful. I used 1/2 the amount of sugar for the dough. I filled with mozzarella, sauteed mushrooms, sauteed onions, diced bell peppers, and mini pepperoni.
     
  5. All I can say is WOW!! I made the dough using water, oil, and 1/2 c. whole wheat flour, and used it for calzones. Beautiful texture but a little sticky--needed a little flour incorporated while rolling. They tasted gourmet! For filling I sauteed half an onion in olive oil and butter, added a couple generous handfuls chopped, fresh spinach and a clove of fresh minced garlic and cooked just till wilted, then added a cup and a half of diced ham and sprinkled the mixture with oregano, salt & pepper. I divided the dough into six rounds, rolled out thin, put equal portions of filling plus a generous handful of mozarella & some parmesan and sealed. Then I brushed the tops with olive oil & sprinkled with parmesan cheese, baked at 425 for 15 minutes & dipped in pizza sauce. YUM!!! This will be my pizza dough recipe for sure.

  1. I used 1/2 the amount of sugar for the dough.
     
  2. Yummy, no fault pizza dough! I used water instead of beer. I did the initial bake at 425 for 10, then it took another 20 mins or so at 350 with the toppings to finish (probably because I didn't get the crust as thinly spread out as I should have). I've been looking for a good dough for calzones, I will have to do that with this recipe next. Thanks for sharing!!
     
  3. I have made this dough twice. The first time with water, butter, and a combo of bread and whole wheat flour- it was pretty good. The second time I made it with beer, olive oil (not butter) and all bread flour- it was better than the first time. This recipe is very simple to make and we did enjoy it. I think olive oil instead of butter made a nicer dough. This is a fun recipe to experiment with.
     
  4. This is great ! i made it with water, i was scared to try with beer haha =) i used the dough to make this Recipe #176487 and it was wonderful, ii substitute 1/2 C Whole wheat flour and used olive oil instead of butter =)
