This is a great recipe, I don't always put the garlic, basil and oregano in it (DH doesn't care for the spices sometimes), but it is quick and easy!

Needed a fast pizza dough to make recipe#331189 and found this. It was perfect and loved the herbs blended in the crust. It was so fast and easy and a wonderful stretch to the dough when rolling it out. Couldn't ask for anything better. Thanks so much for posting.

I tried this for my first attempt at pizza dough and then used it for my first attempt at grilling a pizza. While my grilling technique was questionable (some parts of the dough did not fully cook) the dough was not at fault and the parts that did cook fully tasted great. Grilling may have made the addition of garlic and herbs a bit moot, but the finished pizza (minus a few inches of undercooked dough) was wonderful. I was home from work by 5:00 pm and eating my pizza by 6:00 pm! Now that's a time saver! BTW: I topped it with left over grilled steak, grilled chicken, sauteed onions, red pepper, and mushrooms.
