This made excellent breadsticks! (cut into strtips and rolled with garlic salt and parm, brushed with butter and baked) Thank you for the recipe, I will use it again and again since the rising time for the dough is so quick!

I had my doubts, but this dough was pretty good! I had to add about half a tbsp of water when adding the 2nd cup of flour, and I kneaded it for 5-10 minutes to get the right texture. It made one medium sized pizza, baked in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes, then with the broiler on for another 2 minutes. My only complaint is that the crust under the toppings was perfect, but the uncovered stuff on the edges was a bit hard, I might brush it with olive oil next time. But all in all, a nice quick pizza dough recipe, thanks for sharing!
