I really loved this recipe, as did my husband. I will use it again. The things I loved about it were that it was easy, inexpensive, and very tasty. I used my stand mixer to knead the dough, making it even easier. I pushed it out to the dimensions of my cookie sheet. Even my Pomeranians loved the dough!! :) My one suggestion is to put the oven temp & cooking length. Others mentioned that too. I had to check other recipes. Since my oven cooks hot & I had a dark sheet, I went with 375 degrees & 20 minutes. I then let it sit for 8 minutes. Perfect RKG1 - thanks!

In addition to my previous review let rise in glass bowl on counter covered in Saran wrap for about 1 1/2 hour... Use 2 1/4 teaspoon of dry yeast. bake crust for a few minutes before putting toppings on.

I'm making this Pizza Dough for the 2nd time in less than a month! My husband known as Mr. Picky loved the pizza I made using this dough recipe. He's not a big fan of pizza and I about swallowed my tongue when he asked for seconds! Another recipe (for pizza sauce) mentioned 'par baking the crust with the sauce only for 5 minutes this seemed to work well. I also made sure to preheat my oven to 450 degrees and baked the topped pizzas until the cheese was all bubbly and the edges of the crust were lightly brown. I also used an 'Airbake' pizza pan which as you know promotes an evenly baked underside! Absolutely a favorite recipe. Next I will play with the amount of sugar in the overall recipe for a sweeter more CPK type crust!!! Happy eating

Best pizza dough I've made. Love it!

I've made doughs before but this was soft and tasty. The only thing I would add to the recipe is how long to leave it in the oven and temperature , especially for those who have never made dough before. Yum yum
