Pizza is one of the most popular foods in the world, and for good reason. It is a versatile dish that can be customized with a variety of toppings to suit any taste preference. This easy homemade pizza crust recipe uses a bread machine to make the dough, which saves time and effort. The crust is light and fluffy, with a slightly sweet taste that pairs well with savory toppings. Whether you prefer classic pepperoni pizza or a vegetable-packed pie, this recipe is a great starting point for all your pizza-making adventures.

Instructions

1.	Add water, vegetable oil, lemon juice, salt, white sugar, dry milk powder, bread flour, and active dry yeast in the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
2.	Set the machine to the dough setting and start the cycle.
3.	Once the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine onto a floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes. Roll the dough into a circle or rectangle shape depending on the pizza pan size.
4.	Place the dough onto a greased pizza pan and add desired toppings.
5.	Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes.

PROS

This pizza crust is easy and convenient to make in a bread machine.

The dough rises quickly, making it a perfect option for a quick dinner.

The crust can be made ahead of time and frozen for future use.

CONS

The crust may not be as crispy as a traditional pizza, especially if too many toppings are added.

The crust is made with white flour, which is not as nutritious as whole wheat flour.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

The lemon juice in this recipe helps the body to absorb the nutrients in the flour and the milk powder, making it easier to digest.
Adding vegetables and lean protein as toppings can increase the nutrient density of the pizza.
