I used the dough recipe only. Dh usually isn't wild about homemade pizza, neither are the kids but I wanted to give it another shot. I doubled the recipe to amke 10x15 pizzas. I also had enouugh dough to make cheese bread sticks. When I served this everoyone took a bite and said WOW! Dh said that this was the best pizza he had ever eaten!!(I asked him if he was wanting money or something LOL) He said I am serious this is better than Pizza Hut!! DD(9) said mom this is the best!! DS(8) said I love it mom, can we have it every day? DD(7) said it was the greatest!! Thank you so much for a great crust recipe!! I also did this on the dough cycle with my ABM.

Pretty danged good, by golly. I used this recipe for just the dough which turned out just about right for my own unconventional pizza toppings. Unconventional means that instead of tomato-based ingredients I used pesto and added 80 grams worth of very salty anchovies (too salty for most tastes) and pepperoni. Then I sprinkled a bit extra parmasean cheese and that was that. They're still licking their fingers. hee hee.

If I ever open a pizza parlor this will be my dough; don't worry - I'll cut you in on the profit ;-p We had maple sausage on one half, and ham with pineapple on the other. Thanks for a great crust!

My family loved this! I used Recipe #183606 to make the pizza sauce.
