Vegan Pizza Shells For Bread Machine Food

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.

VEGAN PIZZA SHELLS (FOR BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Combine wet ingredients in breadmaker.
• Add dry ingredients to breadmaker.
• Sprinkle yeast on top of dry ingredients.
• Process in breakmaker on dough cycle (You may need to add up to 1 tablespoons water if dough is too dry.).
• When dough has risen, remove from the breadmaker.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Divide the dough into 5 pieces.
• Spread the 3 tablespoons flour on table.
• Roll each of the dough pieces in to a 8 1/2 inch circle.
• Put dough pieces on to baking sheet and pierce dough liberally with fork.
• Spray dough lightly with cooking spray.
• Place in oven for 8 minutes, just to brown the dough.
• Remove from oven.

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!

VEGAN PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Add warm water and olive oil, knead about 5 minutes or until mixture is well combined and forms a ball. Let dough sit for 10 minutes in a warm place.
• Roll out dough and fit to oiled cookie sheet or pizza pan. Place in oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes or until very slightly browned.
• Remove from oven and let cool. Add pizza toppings of your choice. Return pizza to oven and bake approximately 10-20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cool, slice, and serve.

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).
