Are you using the bread machine to proof it? Making it by hand doesn't take too long, the time is in the proofing.

I use the bread machine to mix and proof it.

Yes. I have a pretty good sourdough recipe but now my GirlChild can't eat gluten so .... we may go to a cauliflower crust. Which I don't yet know how to make.

Proofing?

I just googled that. Never heard of it in my life; I learn something new every day on here. Do most pizza dough recipes use proofing? If so, that explains why I don't meet many people who make their own pizzas.

. . . and with that, I think I've firmly outed myself as "not a baker."

 

[HorseGirlAbby]

Yes, I do.

Yes a lot of them use proofing I’ve actually never heard of one that doesn’t call for proofing.

When I first decided to make pizza it was dinner time, so I searched for quick pizza crust recipes I could whip up right away. Everyone loved it so I've never bothered looking up any others. Takes me about 20 minutes, and half that time is spent waiting for the yeast to get nice and bubbly in the sugar water before mixing in the flour, oil, and salt. I'm guessing the proofed recipes probably taste better or something? Even so, I think I'll never try one - I like the quick and easy method too much.

If I found a recipe I could does that count?

 

[GirlsHuntToo]

Yes.

Agree!

To make a good dough you don't need to use a machine and it only takes 1/12 hours.
This one is the best and has beat my brothers hard pizza dough
