Recipe: Mama Mia Pizza Dough (using bread machine dough cycle)

Mama Mia Pizza Dough (using bread machine dough cycle)

1 1/2 tsp red star yeast
2 1/2 to 3 cups bread flour (add as necessary to ball)
2 tsp butter buds
1/8 tsp garlic powder (more for a stronger garlic flavor)
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp honey
1 cup warm beer (i zap room temp beer in microwave -for a few seconds)

Put all ingredients in your bread maker on manual and let it do the work. I let it rise for a little longer after it finishes, but judge for yourself if it requires that.

Divide into two 12-inch pies (I roll it out). Put on two cornmeal covered pans, prick with a fork, brush with oil, add toppings.

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

Let the pizzas rise for 15 minutes or so, then bake for 7 minutes.

Note from source: This doesn't make a Pizza Hut type of pan pizza dough, instead it is a hand-tossed type that is tender and not tough...delicious! I have a Welbilt 350.

Makes 2 (12-inch) pies
