Been using my bread maker to make pizza dough and make pizza at home. Cheaper and more rewarding then ordering out.

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.
meat lovers
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Some more pizzas I’ve done.
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.
Bowl mixer? Just put on a podcast and knead that by hand for 15 minutes. Ez-pz.
I knead it for less time but I knead it a second time after a few hours. I always try and give it at least 5-6 hours total to rise
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.
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.
We’ve been doing this every weekend so definitely understand.
We make the dough in our bread maker and then cook it on the grill, it’s fantastic.
I’d like to know more about the grill cooking process. I have recently got into outdoor cooking and love my gas grill (I know, sacrilege but I like the convenience over charcoal). I got a pellet grill smoker a while back and that’s been a game changer too but I’ve been debating getting a pizza oven as well but now room is becoming a problem 😅
How do do pizza on your grill? Do you have a pizza stone or something?
We just toss and shape the dough then put it directly onto our gas grill at medium heat. When the top gets air bubbles the bottom will be nice and done. Flip it over and start putting sauce and cheese on the cooked side. Once the ‘new’ bottom is cooked, take it off and put it in a pre-heated oven to either keep it warm or finish it (we like to broil it to get the cheese perfect).
Soooooooo… at what stage do you add the pineapple?
That would be on my wife pizza, but she also added anchovy and that was an abomination.
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!
High gluten flour, 75-80% hydration, yeast, a little salt, a little olive oil. Let it rise, portion it out, and brush with oil and refrigerate until you’re ready to put your pizza together. You’ll get a feel for it, but the biggest part of making a pizza is learning not to leave it on your pizza peel too long, tearing holes in the dough or leaving moisture between the pizza peel and the bottom of the pizza.
You put the lime in the coconut and mix it all up.
Look up the basic pizza dough recipe from America’s Test Kitchens. Super easy, and you can add garlic rosemary or whatever you want to it.
A good pizza. Glad you do.
