Pizza Crust Recipe Using a Bread Machine - Freezer Friendly

Thank you for joining me on today’s pizza crust adventure!
I use a Hamilton Beach Bread Machine for the mixing and rising of the dough.
Let me know in the comments if you have any questions. I hope this video brought some joy to your day. -Jamie
Recipe makes:
4 Large Thin Crusts
3 Large Hand-tossed Style Crusts
2 Large Thick Crusts
Can also be used to make calzones or breadsticks.
2 cups water
2 tbsp olive oil - I use extra light olive oil
2 tsp salt
6 cups (27 oz) flour - I use bread flour but all-purpose flour works just as well
4 tsp Instant Bread Machine yeast
Bake at 425° for 15-25 minutes depending on crust thickness.

I love this video you made. I watched a few others before yours but yours is the most direct w/o a bunch of unnecessary blabbing but great info for the freezer too.This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much!

Good instructions. Nice voice , no annoying music 👍 I am going to do this. I like simple topping , while my husband loads his up. I mean everything. lol I spoil him too much. ❤❤❤ keep baking . I wish i could have seen crust though after baking. It’s okay

[@joyhomesteadva]

Thank you for watching! That's the great thing about pizza; you can put as little or as much as you want on it! -Jamie

[@PLJS2018]

I just made this and froz 4 packs for next week. I had to add more water. Like you said different bread flours absorb differently. New brand and new bag. I will just watch my water. Thank you for the extra work you did and sharing your recipe!!

Thank you for watching! Let me know what all you make in the bread machine. Ours is very well-used, lots of dough going all the time. -Jamie

[@zzzroxyzzz]

@joyhomesteadva I did the pizza dough tonight, but the first thing I made was a rosemary parmasean loaf, it came out so good!!! The flavor was so good you don't need anything on it. Crisp cheesy crust, soft cheesy inside

[@joyhomesteadva]

@zzzroxyzzz oooooh that's sounds amazing!

[@Gazman67]

Try cranking your oven on full 500f or more. Then bake about 8 min . find your own timing for your oven temp but it will be less than at 450 f

[@msCindyZ]

8 minutes?

[@filmtvbiz]

⁠@@msCindyZdepends on topping, but yes, most home ovens only go to 500F, pizzaria ovens range from 800F and more. Have made thin, thick, round pan, cast iron, cookie sheet, etc. Best thing one can do is set it to MAX for (preheat) 10-15 (most home ovens will stop heating around 525-550F) and this works pretty good. Cheese only, about 8-10 minutes. Toppings, about 11-14 minutes. In oven Pizza time, the difference between 11-12 or 13-14 minutes can make a huge difference. So, learn your toppings, check in 10 minutes, adjust your time accordingly and you'll be fine. Again, set on MAX, or broil, as you still won't reach 800F, but you'll be close and cut your time by almost 50%, with great pizza to boot. Now if you really want to get into the science, there is 50-72% moisture, which changes the consistency of the crust (plus style, thin, thick, Sicilian vs CPK, etc), again, experiment. It's your creation. In time, you'll find the one (or two, or three, 😉, that works great. ✨🌟💫

[@sanlee3466]

Is this recipe suitable for a bread machine with the max loaf size of 2 lb? Asking because the recipes that came with my machine ask for 4 cups of flour not 6.

[@joyhomesteadva]

Yes, the machine I use has a 2 lb maximum. The mixer pan is sufficient to mix this as a dough but not to bake it. Make sure the machine is on the "dough" setting and all should be good. -Jamie

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

I've had this same machine for a couple of years now, only in white.

[@joyhomesteadva]

I use mine at least once a week. One of my most used kitchen gadgets! Thanks for stopping by! -Jamie

[@nancyuren6456]

I have the same machine! My first one ( same model) shook itself off counter & broke. I cannot get any bread to work for me. I use bread flour. could my yeast be too cold ( I keep in freezer)?

[@joyhomesteadva]

Are you using bread machine (instant) yeast or active dry yeast? As long as the yeast is bloomed/activated it should work. My yeast is kept in the fridge and the cooler temp hasn't affected the bread. Hmmm, now I'm on a mission to figure this out! -Jamie

[@marelynursal6639]

Hi Joy. When the dough is totally thawed do you still re-prove it before adding the toppings?

[@joyhomesteadva]

Hello! The dough will rise during the thawing process, eliminating the need for a second proof. I hope this helps! -Jamie

[@marelynursal6639]

@@joyhomesteadva thank you for you reply Joy, it really helped and thanks for sharing your recipe. I love that you have some homemade sauces there, it's something that I just started doing as well. Looking forward to more recipe from you. Lots of love from 🇵🇭🇳🇿

[@Moomettes_NE]

Great video, easy to follow - if I prep my pizza in the pan ahead of time (a few hours) is that ok, or should I just keep the dough on the counter until I'm ready to prep and bake the pizza?

[@joyhomesteadva]

You can absolutely prep ahead of time and keep in the fridge until ready to bake. I've also prepped and frozen the full pizza with all toppings (like a store bought frozen pizza) and baked it just the same. From frozen takes a few more minutes to cook through but is still delicious and very convenient! -Jamie

[@Moomettes_NE]

Thank You

[@joyhomesteadva]

@@Moomettes_NE you're very welcome 🧡

[@Moomettes_NE]

@@joyhomesteadva When you freeze to bake later, do you freeze in the pan or place on cardboard round to place in pan later?

[@joyhomesteadva]

@@Moomettes_NE I flash freeze it on a pan, then remove it once frozen, wrap it in foil or plastic wrap, label, and store in freezer until time to bake.

[@rebeccadees2300]

How did you calculate the 27ounces of flour?

[@joyhomesteadva]

I have a baking conversion chart that does cups to ounces. This conversion is for bread flour. -Jamie

[@FosterChicken]

If I have active dry yeast instead of bread machine yeast, will it work?

[@joyhomesteadva]

Yes! I do this all the time now since I found a great place to buy yeast in bulk. You will need to bloom the yeast first. I heat the water to 110 degrees, add a pinch of sugar (to help the yeast feed), and the active dry yeast. While that is blooming, I add the salt and oil to the mixer pan. Once the yeast has bloomed, I add that to the pan then add the flour last. It works beautifully. Side note: active dry yeast seems to flulff up the dough more quickly, so I pull the dough out with about 10 minutes left in the dough cycle to prevent it from rising too much in the pan and overflowing. I hope this helps! -Jamie

[@FosterChicken]

It helps a lot! I just got a new bread maker and am itching to try it out. Pizza dough is a big one but also for breads. I got a Kitchen in a box brand. The instructions aren't real clear so watching you tube videos to learn how to use it.@@joyhomesteadva

[@FosterChicken]

How much active dry yeast do you use? Not 4 tsp? @@joyhomesteadva

[@joyhomesteadva]

@@FosterChicken I use the same amount of yeast. 4 tsp.

[@colinvoss8484]

8 Oz to the cup is not 27 Oz for 6 cups.

[@joyhomesteadva]

8 fluid ounces equal a cup but dry ounces vary depending on the weight/density of what is measured.

[@colinvoss8484]

@@joyhomesteadva why not state it in weight not cups don't intermixed them all you are doing is confusing people.

[@colinvoss8484]

That was not 6 cups of flour.

[@joyhomesteadva]

I weigh out the flour to 27 oz. That is just over 6 cups if using bread flour. I was using a 1.5 cup scoop in the video which makes it seem like less. Thanks! -Jamie
