  1. This pizza crust was a BIG HIT with my daughter, and three of my grandchildren! I made the dough two days ago and froze it, then thawed it today and made two 12"x16" thin rectangular crusts for pepperoni, and Italian sausage/onion pizzas. Made for Spring Photo Tag.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
