Can dough be made in bread machine?
My whole family loved these. They are so delicious, and honestly taste better than the usual pizza place we order from.
So easy, and a big hit with the kids. I added garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and basil (dried), plus black pepper to the dough. Serve with marinara!
