I earned 2 thumbs way up from every member of my household. I made 4 mini pizzas and rolled the dough out, until it was very thin. Instead of using a bread machine, I kneaded it by hand - with no trouble. I allowed the yeast mixture to sit for about 8 minutes before mixing in the flour, salt and oil then followed the recipe as described. I also baked it in the oven on my pizza stone for 4 minutes before adding toppings, then baked it for about 8-10 minutes after topping it. The pizzas turned out crispy and delicious. This will be by new go-to recipe! Thank you!

I don't think I did anything wrong with the recipe and was very disappointed. I had googled "thin and crispy" pizza dough. This came up so I used. Definately not thin, actually was a very doughy and thick crust. Guess if I was looking for a thick crust would have been fine, but I was very disappointed.

it was quite good. i used provolone because that is what i had on hand. i should have worked harder to get it it thin.

Our search for the perfect pizza dough seems to be over. We have made this recipe the past few times and it has always turned out great! And it is so simple to make!

AWESOME! I am so glad I tried this recipe. After trying many recipes, this is finally THE ONE! The bottom was perfectly crispy and crunchy... & stayed that way even on my plate (I hate it when it starts out crispy but gets soggy on the plate!). Made it with Papa John's Pizza Sauce recipe and it was the best pizza we've ever made!
