Italian Pizza Crust In Bread Machine Recipes

ITALIAN BREAD USING A BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Place flour, brown sugar, warm water, salt, olive oil and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
• Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Form dough into two loaves. Place the loaves seam side down on a cutting board generously sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise, until doubled in volume about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, beat together egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the risen loaves with egg mixture. Make a single long, quick cut down the center of the loaves with a sharp knife. Gently shake the cutting board to make sure that the loaves are not sticking. If they stick, use a spatula or pastry knife to loosen. Slide the loaves onto a baking sheet with one quick but careful motion.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

BREAD MACHINE PIZZA DOUGH (ITALIAN HERBS)

Steps:

• Unplug your bread machine and remove the bread pan.
• Place the water, olive oil and then the rest of the ingredients into the bread pan. You can make a little indent on top of the flour in order to avoid the yeast falling into the water (until the machine starts). Do not combine the salt with the yeast (as the salt can kill the yeast). Place the yeast & salt in separate parts of the bread pan.
• Place the bread pan (with ingredients) into the bread machine and then plug in the machine.
• Put your machine on the Dough setting and press the start button. In our Sunbeam bread machine, the kneading & rising on the dough setting takes about approximately 1:30 hours.
• When your bread machine has finished, unplug the machine & pour the dough onto a cutting board. Wear oven mitts (as the bread pan/bread machine may be hot). Sprinkle some flour on the cutting board (before you pour the dough) in order to avoid the dough sticking to the cutting board.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Shape the pizza dough into a round pizza shape. Don't press down on the edges of the pizza. You want a little rim around the pizza. The higher edges will help to contain the sauce and cheese as the pizza bakes.
• The pizza dough can be used to create one large pizza or two small/medium pizzas.
• Place the pizza-shaped dough on a non-stick baking sheet or pizza pan.
• Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce (or pizza sauce) on the pizza dough.
• Sprinkle on a layer of shredded cheese.
• Add some already cooked toppings (i.e. fried Italian sausages). These toppings should be pre-cooked because the pizza baking process may not cook them properly or safely.
• Bake pizza in the oven at 400 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Baking time will vary due to the amount & variety of toppings and size & depth of the pizza dough. Check the pizza frequently after 15 minutes to ensure that it has been baked to perfection!
• Wear oven mitts to remove pizza from the oven.
• Place finished pizza on cutting board and cut into pizza slices. Enjoy!

• Place the bread pan (with ingredients) into your unplugged bread machine and then plug in the machine.
• Put your machine on the Dough setting and press the start button. In our Sunbeam bread machine, the kneading & rising on the dough setting takes about approximately 1:30 hours.
• When your bread machine has finished, unplug the machine & pour the dough onto a cutting board. Wear oven mitts when handling the bread pan as it may be hot. However, first sprinkle some flour on the cutting board (before you pour the dough) in order to help prevent the dough from sticking to the cutting board.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Shape the breadstick dough by either cutting into thin strips or rolling into thin tubes. See the tips section below for more information on how to shape your breadsticks.
• Place the dough breadsticks onto a nonstick baking sheet. Cover them loosely with plastic wrap, wet thin towel, etc. to keep dust off & to prevent the dough from drying out. Let the dough rise for 30 minutes on the baking sheet. The dough should roughly double in width during this time.
• After the dough has risen and before you put the baking sheet in the oven, use a small pastry bush to coat the top of each dough breadstick with a thin layer of olive oil. Then sprinkle some large salt crystals (i.e. sea salt or coarse kosher salt) on top of each dough breadstick.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven when finished and let the breadsticks cool for 1 or 2 minutes on a cooling rack.
• For best results, serve & eat while the breadsticks are still slightly warm.

NEW YORK ITALIAN PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Pour the warm water into the pan of a bread machine, sprinkle in the salt, and add the flour to the pan so the flour sits on top of the water. Make a hole in the top of the flour, and spoon the yeast into the hole. Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes to moisten the flour. Set the bread machine to the knead setting, and knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead in 1/4 cup more flour or as needed, adding the flour about 2 tablespoons at a time, to make a wet, sticky, but elastic dough. The dough should be "as soft as a baby's bottom." Form the dough into a round shape.
• Wipe the inside of a large bowl with olive oil, and place the round ball of dough into the bowl. Turn the dough over a couple of times so the dough picks up a thin coating of oil. Cover with a cloth, and refrigerate the dough for 10 hours or overnight.
• The next day, allow the dough to come to room temperature before rolling out on a floured surface and adding toppings as desired. Roll the dough out thin with a thicker edge before adding toppings.
• Place a pizza stone into oven, dust it with a little flour, and preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Bake the pizza on the stone in the preheated oven until the bottom of the crust is browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
