Very good pizza dough! I was happy to find something fast as it was dinnertime by the time I decided to make pizza. I used 1/2 c whole wheat flour and the rest white. When dissolving the yeast into the water I added a tsp or so of sugar, and then into the dough I added 1 tsp garlic salt and 1/2 tsp oregano and it came out great. Thanks!

Fabulous recipe - I did bake just the crust for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Then added the toppings and baked for another 12-14 minutes at the same temp. One of the best pizzas we/ve ever had! Thanks!

This recipe is great and just seems to get better each time we make it. Don't neglect the kneading time on the dough -- it really makes a difference. Knead it for a good 5 minutes to get a nice texture. We spread it out on a pizza pan and brush it with a mixture of olive oil and sauteed garlic, and use tomato-basil feta cheese, sliced tomatoes, pepperoni, and a sprinkle of ground rosemary on top. I don't think we'll ever eat from a pizza place again!

A good quick pizza dough but I can't imagine making this without adding a teaspoon of salt. Usually I make a long, slow rise dough. It has great flavor and texture but when I'm in a rush this works well (but add some salt please if your diet permits).

This is a great quick and easy recipe. I put everything in my mixer and I did knead it for a few minutes. I also let it rest a bit longer than 15 minutes while I prepared other things. I think salt is really important please use salt if you can. I also like to use honey or granulated sugar to bloom the yeast and for a bit of sweetness in the crust. I also think it tasted maybe a bit too yeasty when it was done so I might be using half the yeast next time, but that will cause less rising in the 15 mins in the recipe so we'll see. This crust recipe is a great medium for adding some flavor like italian seasoning, roasted garlic chunks, cheese, etc. I am keeping this recipe for sure to use when I need something quick. I also think this would work well with calzones. I used a baking stone at 500 degrees and stretched the dough about 1/4-1/2 inch thick and this was too thick for 500 degrees because my cheese was browning before the crust. I'm going thinner next time and I think it will work out nicely. If you want a thicker crust I think this recipe is also great for that because my thicker pizza tasted great even though it wasn't what I was looking for. Just keep your temp lower for thicker pizza so you don't burn your toppings before the crust gets done.
