This was a great pizza crust! It had a very nice flavor. I halved the dough and made the first half to fit into a large rectanular cookie sheet and the other half I made into rolls for dinner the next day, which made 12 rolls perfectly for the amount of dough. Thanks for sharing. I will be using this more often!

Very good recipe. I made this in my breadmaker with a half recipe. Worked really well - the dough had a lovely consistency and no problems baking with a thick layer of vegetables on top. Very good for sheaking in garlic for kids that are a bit garlic resistant at the moment.
