I have a quick pizza dough recipe that doesn’t require a bread machine & rises in 15 minutes.

BASIC PIZZA DOUGH
From 1001 Low-Fat Vegetarian Recipes
6 slices = 100 calories/0.3g fat/3.2 g protein/20g carbs

1-1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 package fast-rising yeast
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup very hot water (120°)

1. Combine 3/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar, & salt in a bowl. Add hot water, stirring until smooth. Mix enough of remaining 1/2 cup of flour to make a soft dough.

2. Knead on a floured surface until smooth & elastic (3-5 minutes). Cover dough with the bowl and let stand for 15 minutes.

3. Spread dough on the pan, add toppings, & cook 20 minutes at 425°.

I have so many Pillsbury cresent rolls that I am wondering how that would turn out. Anyone try it that way?

I’ve done something similar with crescent rolls, though I didn’t attempt any braiding! I divided the crescents into 4 rectangles, put the filling on one half of each rectangle, then folded the it over to make a “pocket,” somewhat like a stromboli. Bake according to the crescent directions. We liked them with pizza fillings and with ham/swiss!

I'm looking forward to trying this recipe tonight! I made the pizza sauce this morning and it's great.

I may have to get me a bread machine. My mom had one when I was younger and I lloved it I used it the most.

I might have to try this with all the sauce, cheese, and pepperoni on sale this week. Only one of my bread recipes have turned out so far )

Now THAT looks yummy. I think I'll do this on Sunday for my Dad's superbowl party. Now to put my thinking cap on. I need to plan on it getting done right before we leave. Thanks for sharing.

We used to have cheesesteak braids a lot when I was growing up. Super easy and super yummy!! I might make these tomorrow night instead of regular pizza

I'm not sure, Heather, since I've never tried it without the bread machine. Since it's just regular flour (rather than bread flour), I'd think that a single rise might be okay. The bread machine dough setting does a double rise, I believe. If you experiment with it, please let us know what works!

This looks great! I might be changing what's for dinner. I use my Kitchen Aid when I make bread. Do you know if this recipe needs a double rise like regular bread or a single rise like pizza dough?
