Have made this many times. All our friends want to come to our house for a pizza party. THE RECIPE DOES NOT MENTION WHAT TO DO WITH THE 1/2 CUP OF OLIvE OIL. SINCE IT IS A PIZZA DOUGH INGREDIANT, I HAVE ALWAYS POURED IT IN WHEN MIXING THE PIZZA DOUGH. Not sure if this is right. Can someone enlighten me?
the best pizza on the planet, i was weaned on tthe bootlegger and the venitian in las vegas the best food on the planet and you canb come close withy this recipe but you onlky get close, theres nothing like dipping the pizza in the home made blue cheese yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
One word amazing! I thought this recipe was so good. I won’t be buying the boxed stuff anymore!
I am not a chef, you put me in the kitchen and I have no idea what I am doing. I made this pizza for my roommates and they were highly impressed and loved it!
I LOVED the crust but the sauce was dreadful and no one would even eat it so I had to throw the seconed pizza away :(… but the crust was lovely
This recipe was easy to follow and a cinch to put together. The end product was very tasty and I will definitely be using it again!
The dough turned out amazing, but the sauce didnt work for me. I used roma tomatoes instead of pear tomatoes, and then ground them in a food processor.I would be curious to hear how other people’s sauce turned out. Everything else was great
This is the best pizza dough I’ve ever made. The crust reminds me of soft breadsticks. I sprinkled parmesan and garlic salt on the crust edges. Perfect!
I have made this recipe many times and it is so easy. And it is yummy to eat. I get request to make many pizza’s now. We no longer buy take out pizza. No one in the house likes take out dough. Wonderful dough
