Submitted by Bas4379

"This is a good recipe for a chunky and crisp italian style pizza dough. It's quite simple and basic. But it makes a nice crust where you can add your favourite topping."

We loved this dough. I used 00 flour and brushed the edge with olive oil mixed with pizza seasonings and a little Parmesan cheese. Excellent. Thank you!
