Made this last night with my husband and kiddos. Very easy recipe and came out soooo good! Will definitely be making this again.
First time making pizza so I was initially nervous but it turned out awesome. It's quick and easy to make. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
I've only used the crust portion of this recipe and it's mmm mmm good. First and only homemade crust I've made, it's a keeper!
I decided to bake a pizza with this recipe and came out, this is so delicious!
First time I made pizza dough. Turned out Perfect!
I have been making pizza my whole life and my recipe was very good. Eveyone loved my dough but I wanted to try something different. I made this dough and found it to be the best I have ever made. It was light and yet crispy, this was the best dough I have ever tasted...delicious!!
Never made dough all my life let alone pizza. This evening i just decide to try this recipe and my oh my! it is super delicious!!! Thanks a lot taste of home
I used this recipe just for the crust. Just made it today and the crust is going to be my new "go to" pizza crust recipe. I really liked the crispness on the bottom of the crust and bread-like top part of the crust. I made it in my Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I did use instant yeast, as that is all I ever use. I had to add extra flour to make the dough "stiff" enough so that I could handle it to make the ball. I used my old black cookie sheet that is well seasoned with age to bake the pizza on. I always bake my pizza on this cookie sheet. I was able to spread the dough with my hands so that saved getting out the rolling pin. After the dough was spread on the cookie sheet, I finished the pizza to my liking. I make my our salsa in the fall, cooking it down so it is thick, then I can it. That is what I use for my pizza sauce. Great crust---will make again!!
I had never made pizza dough before until i tried this . My husband and daughter loved it!!! I invited friends over and made it for them and now they want me to make it all the time..they loved it too! This will definitely be a permanent recipe I stick with :-)
i thought the crust was good however my husband (gah!) liked the store-bought crust better. What is wrong with him??? I had leftover dough so I am trying it out with cinnamon rolls. They are rising now and then into the oven. Fingers crossed.
