Pizza dough in the breadmaker?

Do you do this, what's your recipe?

I've found a few but I'd rather take suggestions from people I know who have done it, and who better to ask than you lovely lot.

This one looks sensible to me..

* 10 g easy bake dried yeast
* 450 g OO grade pizza flour
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 10 g salt
* 25 g olive oil (will work it out in ml later)
* 220 ml sparkling bottled water

This is for four pizzas.

It surprises me that there's no milk, but LMF can't take milk so it might work out well. It just suggests bunging it all in the breadmaker on the dough setting and waiting an hour until it goes 'ping'

/edit - Ahh, this is a list of alternate ingredients for larger bases, the smaller one has the following so I'm guessing they really need to be added as well:

# 15 g (1/2 oz) butter or olive oil
# 1 tablespoon milk powder

I assume that once I've got the dough, I just roll it out into the appropriate shapes, leave them in a warm place for another hour or so to rise and then just build the pizzas and bake?

Yep, pizza dough in the breadmaker works fine, we used it as an emergency when our frozen base delivery never arrived whilst i was at revs. Probably tasted better actually! Can't remember the exact recipie but we did just steal it from the internet

Once made separate into balls, leave them etc... Then press them out on the floury (or semolina works really well) surface, rolling pins work but stretching them works much nicer in my experience

My recipe

If you like thin and crispy the below will make two 10" bases
If you like deep pan style then the below will make one 10" base

You will Need:

half a teaspoon of yeast
300g strong white flour
1tbsp olive oil
1tsp salt
170ml water

That's pretty much the same as the recipe I use. Always make my pizza and focaccia dough in the breadmaker, cos I'm lazy innit

Looks pretty straightforward, thanks. Once the dough is made is it right that I just shape the base and leave it for an hour or so to rise before building the pizza?

The recipe I found specified pizza flour but does that really matter?

I usually put the oven on at 50c and pop them in for about 20 minutes to prove

Dough is doughing.

is the weather sweet?

Yes, yes it is

Dough has doughed, it came out a bit stickier than I was expecting but a liberal coating of flour dealt with that easily enough. Now the bases are all sitting in greaseproof paper lined baking trays for an hour or so. Two are a nice roundish shape and the third is a bit odd shaped but I'm sure that won't matter at all.
