Excellent pizza dough. Used it to make my Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza and had very good results. It helps to let the dough rest a few minutes if it is difficult to roll it thin enough. I used half the dough tonight and froze the other half to use later.

Three words....FAB U LOUS !!!! I Love this recipe. Since I discovered this gem a month ago, my husband (he's Italian)insists I make pizza at least once a week. I use 1/2 cup of Romano instead of the parmegiano.I have even used this to make crazy bread. Its soooooooo good. Its way easy to make too...people will think you worked alot harder than you really did.....and thats always a bonus!

For a slumber party, my mom and I made a bunch of pizzas ahead using this dough. We made individual pizzas using 6-7 ounces of dough each. Sprinkled aluminum foil square with semolina flour, placed pizza round on it and then topped with pizza sauce and cheese. Then we sealed them up with another square of foil. When my friends came over, we pulled them out of the freezer and everyone got to personalize their pizzas with the topping of their choice. Then we baked them right on the bottom foil sheet in a 425 degree oven for about 15 minutes. All of my friends thought it was the greatest idea! This made about 7 or 8 individual pizzas.

Admittedly, I don't have a stand up mixer, so my kitchen sort of looked like I Love Lucy last night. I decided to put everything in my bread machine. It worked, but I wish I would have looked more carefully at the serving size. Next time I'll cut the recipe in half. But it was tasty and it sure smelled good.
