Quick-&-In-A-Hurry Pizza Dough

Living4Jesus's Note:

When you don't have time for dough to rise! I've served pizza with this recipe many, many times and I always get complimented on the great crust. Use a Kitchen Aid with a dough hook to cut time. Both my toddlers love this pizza!

For a super-quick option, this dough was really good. It rises a little due to steam, but it is still fairly dense. It bakes up nice and crisp on the outside, though. Because the dough doesn't have time to develop much flavor of its own, I definitely recommend using the herbs and parmesan. Brushing the edges with garlic butter after it comes out of the oven is also very nice.

This was a tasty, thickish type pizza crust which the family enjoyed for lunch today. I made two crusts. One with only 1 TBS Parmesan cheese and the other with none (hubby does not like the stuff). I have to say...next time I make this I'll use the 2 TBS as called for because it was YUMMY! Made for PAC 2007. Thanks, Living4Jesus. (:
