Sanveann, check your local stores too.. one of our stores here in town carries the SAF yeast and it's much cheaper AND no shipping.

Good to know, Jodie! Any particular store you've had luck finding it in?

The store here in town that carries it is "Thriftway" used to be "Sentry". But they tend to carry items that are less of the norm than the other store in town. So any place you're more likely to find baking supplies.. whole wheat flours (or wheat berries to grind your own) or organic foods.. things like that might be a good store to check. Even if their foods are generally higher priced.. this might be an item they'd have at a good price.

I buy yeast and vital wheat gluten in bulk on Amazon and it is FAR cheaper than the grocery store--just a suggestion!

I've bought bulk bags of yeast from the health food store, but Costco also has a decent deal on 1/2 lb bags if I'm not mistaken. I don't recall the price, but I'm thinking it was $5-6.

someone asked if my husband has the recipe for the pizza dough. It is what is on the booklet that came with the bread maker. But even though it was a cheap lunch I have to say that the dough was not up to snuff with store bought . I always feel that when I make bread dough myself as oppposed to the breadmaker, that it tastes better. My husband loves the machine. whatever. Thanks for the tips on cheaper yeast. I never thought of buying it on-line. I know that yeast is very sensitive to temperature so I would think that it could get ruined that way but of course how does the yeast get to the store? by truck of course! oh well.

We've tried a couple of different pizza dough recipes in our bread machine. My dh loves whole wheat pizza dough, so that's what he usually makes.

We mix pizza dough in the Breadmaker and it turns out yummy!
I just found a recipe on allrecipes.com.
1 1/4 c room temp water
1/2 T sugar
1/2 T salt
1 T olive or veg oil
1 teas yeast
3 c bread flour... But keep an eye on it because I usually add at least another 1/2 c. Also tastes great when you sub 1/2 c of bread flour with wheat
My secret is rubbing garlic powder, kosher salt and grated Parma
cheese on the dough while rising
good luck

I only put out a certain amount and always remind them that there are others who need to get some --they're usually pretty good about making sure there's enough for everyone. But I do keep an eye on it.

Oh sure. It's something he found on a label somewhere but he adds to it to make it his own. I'll ask him about it!

We mix our pizza dough in the bread machine as well. It saves me lots of time, and tastes fantastic to us!
Here's my recipe which I then press into a large 9 x 13 casserole dish, add warm tomato sauce (with oregano, salt, crushed fennel seed, garlic powder), sausage, choice of toppings, mozzarella, and bake as a deep dish pizza casserole at 350 for 35 minutes. It's a favorite around here...and on my menu for tonight!
Bread Machine Pizza Dough
(from the Zojirushi bread maker recipe book)
3/4 cup of warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
~ 2 cups bread flour *just a little less than 2 cups (this recipe has been halved)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon yeast

Hey - that sounds fun to try!
My secret is to generously rub with olive oil after I press into shape while it rises for the second time. It keeps the dough nice and moist and gives it such a great flavor while baking!

Yes! Rubbing with olive oil does make it delicious! Unfortunately my kids don't agree (they have strange taste I think ;)
thought of one more thing- when I tried a deep dish pizza recipe it included some cornmeal. Adding a couple tablespoons to any recipe adds yummy flavor and texture!
Oh, and hve you ladies seen the "new years eve pizza" recipe from king Arthur flour's website? Very interesting! I made it for new years last yr and may do it again this yr. Although I don't think I could make it more than once a year. Very interesting flavor...
