    Thank you very much. Just one other thing, do you stretch it out before you prove it or afterwards?

    Take it out of the BM, knock the air out, then shape it, then let it prove for 15 mins :D:D

    tonight I'm making us a homemade pizza

    I'm doing the dough in the bread maker - can I freeze the dough if I don't use it all?

    also does anyone have an simple flapjeck recipe?

    If you part cook the plain base I know you can freeze them that way, in which case you have a ready made base in the freezer for another time.

    Not sure about freezing the dough though.

    Flapjacks - 12Oz porridge oats, 6 oz butter, 6 oz golden syrup, 6 oz light brown soft sugar. Melt syrup and butter, add to porridge and sugar, put in a tin and bake for 20 minutes.

    I should think you could freeze the dough - after all bread dough can be frozen and what is the difference? It will need to come back to room temperature before you could shape it though, and that can take a surprisingly long time. As soon as you turn your back and forget about it, it erupts out of the container and gets everywhere. Ask me how I know.

    I always freeze my leftover dough as the recipe for my BM is more than I need. I simply take off what I want, put it in a freezer bag and sling it in the freezer. It doesn't take too long to defrost either, then simply roll it out as you normally would HTH.

    So do you freeze it straight away after it comes out of the machine? As in you don't let it rise first.

    (sorry, I'm really new to the breadmaker thing too)

    Yes, freeze it straight away. That way you have dough that will still rise after defrosting later.

    OH does this all the time and freezes it straight away. He has even rolled the dough out in bases and frozen them.

    I have a cheapie breakmaker from Asda (Durabrand?) that makes perfectly nice regular loaves of bread. I don't get creative with recipes or anything, but I do wish I could make pizza dough. I've tried a couple of recipes from a bread machine recipe book and I end up with a rather sticky ball of dough. I have to work so much flour into it to get it to roll out that I end up doing more work than I would just starting from scratch.

    Anybody got anything for me?
