  • Go to www.hillbillyhousewife.com and pick the pizza with self rising crust, you mix it roll it out and let it rest while you make the sauce and toppings, no breadmaker, no proving but a great cheap pizza!

  • Hi,

    I made a portion of pizza dough in my breadmaker today for the first time and got it out the breadmaker as soon as the machine beeped and was finished. At this stage the dough was VERY sticky and elastically - almost too much so to be honest. I noticed that after I had left it a while to rise it was easier to use. My question to you is should i have left the dough in the breadmaker for sometime after it finished before getting it out and trying to roll it?

    The finished pizza once it had cooked was very nice but I am just sure that it should be easier to manipulate and roll out than it was.....

    Thanks

    My advice would be to dispense with the BM for dough ;) 2 reasons:
    • BM dough uses more water than that made by hand, so it far too sticky
    • Dough made by hand takes a couple of mins to make, and you can judge just how much liquid it needs :D

  • Thank you for your suggestion..... I have made the dough by hand before but seem to recall it took a while and involved leaving yeast to ferment for ages first? (might be wrong) Having just got a breadmaker it appealed to me to use it and was one of the uses that persuaded me to go ahead with my purchase..... (actually to be exact mine arrives tomorrow and I am currently using a borrowed one :D)

    Perhaps next time I may try leaving it in the breadmaker for 30 mins before getting it out - maybe it will be less sticky in that time?

    Mine makes great pizza dough, perhaps there was slightly too much water in it? I find with mine the water / flour ratio has to be spot on or else it is sticky. Can you see what the dough looks like with your BM? Mine has a window and I can open the lid and sprinkle a little more flour in if it doesn't look right.

    I find it much easier to make in the breadmaker, it does only take a couple of minutes to mix up the dough but the rising and kneading takes a while and you have to keep going back to it. With the breadmaker I can set it up to make it while we are out.
