  1. Love this pizza crust! Made 2 with all white flour and 2 with half whole wheat, they were both great. I made the dough in my bread machine, rolled them out, baked them at 350 for just under 10 mins. then wrapped and froze them. We took them out of the freezer, thawed them on the counter while we got our toppings ready. Added our toppings and cooked them at 350 until the cheese was hot and bubbly. Yummy!!!
     
  2. This was so quick and easy and delicious. My DD made this to go with a recipe#215908 that I was making. It came together really fast. She used the method of cooking it for 5 minutes before putting on the goodies and it worked perfectly. She cooked the pizza until the cheese started to bubble and it was great. Made for the Cookin Cats ZWT4.
     
  3. I really liked this dough.Will try the wheat later on but this gave me no problem to work with.
     
  4. Excellent recipe. I have made it using all options now, and it has worked really well. So quick, but so easy - easier than getting in the car to pick up pizza! ..... Have now used it for "fast and easy stromboli" #200673. very good! Update: My son (8) who is obsessed with fishing wanted seafood pizza, but all I had was ham - check out the photos of his solution!
     
  5. This is my new favorite pizza crust. I have made many different kinds of pizza crust trying to find one that makes a full pizza pan sized crust and could still be loaded with toppings and not get soggy or floppy and not to bready with no success until now. This is perfect I have made it 3 times now for pizzas and calzones. Thank you mama!
