Every Friday is pizza and a movie at my house and this recipe will be a regular. I coated the dough with melted butter and sprinkled with garlic salt before adding the ingredients. The pizza sauce is GREAT. This is a keeper..........

I've never entertained the thought of making my own crust, but now I use this crust recipe all of the time. It's very simple and fool proof.

I have been using a similar recipe for about 35 years. It uses no sugar and olive oil instead of canola oil. I have found that sprinkling cornmeal on the pan before placing on the dough makes it crisper on the bottom.

I've made homemade pizza since I've been married, but never been completely satisfied with the crust until now! This crust is absolutely perfect. The bottom was crispy and the bread part was soft but fully cooked through. I didn't have any problem with the crust shrinking or being soggy. I used a pizza stone--maybe that helped. I've definitely found the crust recipe I'll use from now on. Thanks!!!

Eh-KaySide note: does anyone know if i were to add italian seasoning if it would compromise the recipe? ALSO would i add it before or after rising???
You can add any seasoning before the rise. Garlic is a nice addition too.

My husband and I really liked this pizza. Blended flavors were just right. I cut the recipe in 1/2 because I used the bread maker for the dough and didn't want to overload it. The amount of dough was just right for a 14" pizza with a semi-thin crust thickness and would still work for a larger pizza with a thinner crust. I baked it on a pizza stone at 425 degrees about 15 or so minutes. The crust was great, except I will add more sugar next time as we like a sweeter tasting dough. I used frozen meatballs, thawed and food processed, canned mushrooms, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and Prego pizza sauce. The crust was done perfectly for us, crunchy, but not hard. We will definitely make this pizza again.

I have to echo all the other reviews, this is a great crust recipe. Seemed like I had extra sauce, but the pizzas were fine and I will make these instead of buying frozen ones.

I use this recipe just for the crust, and use my own sauce and toppings. This is the only recipe I will ever use when making homemade pizza!

Finally, the pizza crust I've been looking for! It makes an excellent crust, just soft and chewy enough. I used good quality olive oil instead of canola. As for toppings, I used my own rather than the recipe's. This is now my base for pizza.

I really liked how thin the crust rolled out and how easy it was to work with but I could really taste the sugar. Maybe half the amount would make it less noticable.

Oh my gosh!! This is the best dough I have ever made. I didn't use the toppings suggested, just used my regular toppings, in the quantitlies I wanted. But the dough was so easy to come together and it was so soft and light, not at all like most homemade doughs that come out really hard and crunchy. Definatly a keeper
