With the help of a bread machine, you can make delicious pizza crust without having to mix or knead by hand.

The dough can be stored in the fridge or freezer for future use.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Pizza crust dough made from scratch allows you to control the ingredients, therefore controlling the nutritional value. This recipe doesn’t contain unnecessary preservatives or additives. However, pizza crust is high in carbohydrates and calories, so it should be eaten in moderation. Using whole wheat flour instead of All Purpose flour is a great way to add more fibre to the dough.
