It’s been several weeks now that my family and I have been staying home together. One thing I’ve been doing to help keep morale up is by cooking new treats for my family. One Friday, I made homemade pizzas, complete with fresh pizza dough! I was surprised at how simple it was to make the pizzas and loved how INSANELY DELICIOUS homemade pizza is! I made pizza again for my family the past two Fridays!
I am sharing my recipe for homemade pizzas and homemade bread machine pizza dough as part of the Taste Creations Blog Hop. My blogging friends and I get together the first Monday of every month to share new recipes together. Today we will be sharing recipes for COMFORT FOODS!

Homemade Pizza Recipe
I made my homemade pizzas with my ZOJIRUSHI compact bread machine. My bread machine makes a 1 lb. ball of dough (or loaf of bread). I was able to make two pizzas from each batch of freshly made dough. I got my recipe for my bread machine pizza dough from BreadWorld.com. I chose this bread machine pizza dough recipe because it is a 1 lb. recipe that fits in my mini bread maker. (There is also a 1.5 lb. recipe for larger machines.)
(If you don’t have a bread machine, don’t worry! Try this non-bread machine pizza dough recipe by my friend, Rosemary of An Italian in My Kitchen.)
The total time it takes to make a pizza (or two) depends on the length of your bread machine’s dough cycle. It takes only about 15-25 minutes to bake the pizzas with this recipe! With this recipe, I was able to make two pizzas — I get four large slices from each pizza. (My family can polish off three of the pizzas, so I make two batches of the dough for our pizza nights.)
I made plain pizzas for one daughter. For my husband and other daughter, I made sausage pizzas and pepperoni ones. If my husband goes out shopping sometime soon (I haven’t been going out to the stores lately), I should ask him to pick up mushrooms for my daughters’ vegetarian pizzas.
I’m so glad I have discovered how easy it is to make pizza at home!
Homemade pizza has become a new Friday night tradition for my family.
