Create a delicious homemade pan pizza dough with this easy-to-follow recipe, perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings.
Add the warm water, sugar, salt, olive oil, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, msg, and yeast to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start it.
Check the dough after a few minutes of mixing; it should form a smooth ball. Adjust with water or flour if needed.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and sprinkle it with cornmeal.
The cornmeal prevents sticking and adds a nice texture to the crust.
Once the dough cycle is complete, roll out the dough to fit the prepared pan and place it inside.
Roll the dough evenly to ensure consistent baking.
Let the dough rest in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
Resting allows the dough to relax and rise slightly, improving the texture.
Add your desired toppings to the dough.
Use fresh and high-quality toppings for the best flavor.
Bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 350°F for approximately 20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the toppings are cooked.
Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.
Slice the pizza into squares and serve warm.
Square slices are perfect for easy serving and storage.
