Vegan Pizza Shells For Bread Machine Recipes

EASY PIZZA DOUGH FOR BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Add ingredients to pan in order listed, set bread machine on"dough" and walk away.
• After the cycle is completed, lightly coat dough ball in flour and roll or slap out to desired size.
• Top with desired sauce, cheeses, meats and/or veggies and bake at 450° until cheese is golden brown.
• Will make a 9-10" pizza of average thickness, or a 13-14" thin crust pizza.
• For best results, bake on a preheated baking stone sprinkled with corn meal.
• Notes: You may substitute beer for all or part of the water. I've used 3/4 cup flat beer and 1/4 water with excellent results. A teaspoon of semolina may be added as well -- it provides a nice crunchiness to the dough when baked. Corn meal can be substituted for the semolina (and likewise, semolina can be used to dust the pizza peel and/or baking stone).

EASY CRUSTY VEGAN BREAD

Steps:

• Add the all purpose flour, yeast and sea salt to a large mixing bowl or your kitchen aid mixer. Mix in the water and stir well until incorporated. Cover the bowl loosely with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. ( you may leave it overnight as well but it is not necessary )
• After about 2 hours check the dough and you should notice the surface dotted with bubbles. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and sprinkle it with a little flour. Shape it into a round loaf by folding it over on itself a few times. NO KNEADING Allowed!
• Meanwhile preheat your oven to 450"F with a pizza stone inside. I If you don't have a pizza stone preheat a cast iron dutch oven with the lid on instead). Place a baking dish with a couple of inches of water in it on the bottom rack to help create steam inside the oven for a crispy crust.
• Sprinkle a pizza peel or a cardboard box with some flour and place the bread loaf on top. Allow it to rest for 45 minutes while the oven warms up. Using a serrated knife make a few slits on top of the loaf.
• Sprinkle the pizza stone with a little bit of the semolina flour then gently slide the bread dough onto it just like you would do with a pizza. Cook for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool down before slicing. For an even crispier crust allow to bread to cool inside of the oven with the door slightly open.

GARLIC LOVER'S PIZZA CRUST FOR THE BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Place the ingredients into the pan of a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Close the lid, select the Dough cycle, and press Start.
• When the machine signals the end of the cycle, remove the dough and knead into a tight ball on a lightly floured surface. Let rest for about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Stretch the dough out to fit your desired pizza pan. Let rise for about 20 minutes for a thicker crust.
• Top with sauce, cheese and desired pizza toppings. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the crust is lightly browned on the bottom when you lift up to take a peek.

WORLD'S EASIEST BREAD MACHINE PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Put the water, olive oil, sugar, sea salt, flour, garlic, oregano, basil, black pepper, cilantro, paprika, and dry yeast into the pan of a bread machine individually in order as listed. Select Dough cycle; press Start. Let dough rest 5 to 30 minutes before using; the longer it rests, the thicker the crust.

BREAD MACHINE PIZZA CRUST AND DAIRY FREE TOPPINGS

Steps:

• Place liquid ingredients into the bread machine.
• Place flour and salt in the bread machine.
• Make a well in the top of the flour and pour in the yeast.
• Close the machine and set it to the dough setting (follow your machine's instructions).
• When the machine beeps and the dough is ready, sprinkle some flour on a working surface and form the dough into 2 balls (or one for a REALLY thick pizza).
• Flatten it while pressing from the center outwards. Stretch the dough while turning it. Once it's the right size for your preference, you are ready to put it on a pan.
• Grease a cookie sheet or pizza pan and, if desired, for a pizza shop flare, you can sprinkle a light dusting of cornmeal on the surface before placing the dough down (be sure none of the cornmeal is left exposed, or it will smoke when you put it in the oven!).
• I like to stretch my dough to the edge of a cookie sheet pan and then pinch the edges up.
• Prick the dough with a fork all over (to keep it from bubbling up and to allow it to hold the sauce well).
• Drizzle small amount of olive oil (nice flavor) over the dough. I spread mine around with clean fingers.
• Add toppings - pizza sauce and then whatever you want. We like mushrooms, diced red pepper, and diced onion. Be creative!
• Top with the cheese substitute (we used to use Rice cheese until we learned that it contained milk proteins. Read labels carefully and select a smooth melt mozzarella alternative).
• Cook in a preheated 400 degree oven until the crust and cheese lightly browns.
• Serve and enjoy!
