This is so simple to make; the rising time is perfect for prepping all the toppings and sauce to put on your pizza. This made 2 9-in pizza crusts for me; I cooked my pizzas at 500 degrees for 8-10 minutes (til the cheese was bubbly) and the crust was perfect. Just a perfect recipe for pizza crust. Your pizza will likely be done before someone could deliver one far less delicious and healthy to your home.

As one who spends much time in my laboratory...urrr kitchen, while fine tuning my chemical processing activities...uurrummm I mean cooking skills, I have ascertained that the pureness of homemade minus the traces of methylparaben, glycerin or glutaraldehyde is far superior to its 'take-out' counterpart.
