How to Make Homemade Pizza Dough:
This is the cheapest easiest way to have PIZZA NIGHT whenever you want.
If you’re a neat freak and you’ve never made pizza by hand before I’m going to save you a lot of time and effort, not to mention a big mess. It’s SO EASY!
Last year when my friend Greg mentioned he was making pizza at home in his bread machine, I was intrigued. We’d never made pizza at home before and I thought it would be a fun activity to have some quality time with my wife during the lockdown. Greg said it was super easy, so I asked him for his recipe.
At the time we didn’t have bread maker so we made it by hand. I learned three things.
#1 It’s harder to wash pizza dough off my hands than I thought.
#2 I hate to get my hands dirty when cooking.
#3 I hate to get my hands dirty when cooking.
I added Greg’s hand made recipe below so if you want to give it a shot you can follow this the recipe.
HOWEVER, If you’re like me and you want to save yourself a lot of cleaning and nasty mess on you’re hands, click the Bread Machine Recipe button below.
