This idea of putting the sauce on top seemed a little strange to us, but it turned out just fabulous! A nice crispy crunch to the crust. We could hear it when the pizza wheel hit it. Just a word of warning, though. I heated my water for 25 seconds and it was too hot to put the yeast in. I had to wait for it to cool a little. Yeast will die at about 140 F, so it will be WAY beyond that at 2 minutes in the microwave. I would test it after 15 seconds. Should be like bath water. We'll be making this again. Thanks Catalina!

This is an amazing pizza dough recipe. I just throw it all in my bread machine on the dough setting and wait. I love that this is a 'no oil' dough and the results are crispy (you can even hear the crunch!). This is the first time I have managed to convince my husband that homemade pizza beats shop bought and I thank you for that and of course, it is a two thirds of the calories, so healthy too! :)

I put this in my bread machine on the dough cycle. I added more flour because the dough was a bit wet. It is fantastic! My oven does not like to be on 500 so I put it at 450 and brushed the crust with olive oil topped with chopped fresh kale, goat cheese, sliced cherry tomatoes and carmalized onions. I used half the dough and rolled it out thin. My new favorite crust!
