Here’s the bread-machine pizza dough recipe I use:
1-1/2 cups of water
1-1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsps butter/margarine
4-1/4 cups white flour
2 tsp yeast
Pizza topping Ingredients

Measure first 6 ingredients in order listed into bread machine baking pan. Use dough setting. Once complete, remove from pan and place on lightly floured surface. If necessary knead in enough flour to make the dough easy to handle. Roll out dough and place in 3 greased 12″ pizza pans (or just use one big cookie sheet like I do). Top with desired pizza toppings. Bake at 425F for 15-25 minutes, or until done. Pizza is done when edges of crust are golden and cheese is bubbly.

I really like this recipe. I’m sure I could have used less dough for a thinner crust but I love big thick crust on my pizza so that’s how I made it. Tony seemed very impressed with my pizza-making abilities. He really appreciated having homemade pizza instead of the frozen stuff I usually buy. I cut it into little cubes for Bennett and he gobbled it up. Cole wanted a really big piece, but then got upset when he couldn’t eat it. He didn’t want me to cut it though. So it was just a big source of frustration for him. Oh well, 3 out of 4 Newtons enjoyed this meal- that’s not too shabby!
