    I have been using this recipe for some time now, and refuse to try another. It is by far the easiest and most delicious pizza dough I have ever made...My family adores it, now the trick is to find an amazing pizza sauce to go with it! I have also made it my own. I had a good teaspoon of sugar to the yeast water mixture before I add the yeast. Once I begin to pour in the olive oil, I also add a good 2-3 tbsp of honey. Gives the dough a nice texture and taste, just enough sweetness to taste like real bread, which is how pizza dough tastes like in good pizza joints in Canada. I noticed that this recipe is also classified as intermediate. Well, even after learning from my grandmother on how to make bread, I still can't seem to grasp the proper way to do it. While this recipe has been very easy for me to master and successfully prepare. Another important trick I have learned over the internet and from experience is that you actully need your oven to be as hot as possible in order for the dough to cook right. I put mine at 500 F and place my dough on a holed pizza sheet, I bought it at an Italian market actually. This allows the dough to rise quickly but cook thoroughly. I also never seem to cook for the same amount of time, I eye the pizza, give or take 10 minutes and take it out when I like the color. I definitely give it 2 thumbs up many times over!!! Give it a try, you'll be so pleased! :o

    Great recipe for a pizza crust, however I made the mistake of baking crust for 5-8 minutes before adding toppings and the crust came out too hard. Next time I will not prebake the crust. I love that it only has a few ingredients and rises so fast. Will make again.

    Similar to the other reviews below, I chose this recipe to make grilled pizza because of how simple the ingredient list is. I've never made dough before but it was very easy to put together. I kneaded the dough for a few minutes as well and found the dough very springy and similar to pizza doughs I've bought from bakers here in NY. I was able to make two 12/13 inch pies with this one recipe. Combined with Alton Brown's Pizza Margherita, this makes amazing pizza. Way to go Paula!!!

    Paula has done it again. This recipe is easy to follow and time and time again turns out great. I have found that the longer you knead the dough, the more elastic and smooth it becomes. I usually knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes, rather than just 15 times and the result is a great dough. Thanks Paula!

    This was my first time making pizza dough, let alone anything with yeast. After researching a ton of recipes, I landed on this one due to personal preference and the ease of the recipe. I love it because it's a recipe for two very large pizzas; I made two 14" pizzas with this. I made them separately, freezing the other half for later use. They both turned out absolutely delicious! I recommend this recipe to anyone and everyone.

    Easiest way to make a pizza. Ever. Put some cheese sticks in the crust and fold it over for the official stuffed crust. Nevver going to The Hut again.

    I love this recipe! It's easy and delicious. I usually pair it with the Basic Pizza Sauce recipe by Don Pintanbona. I will never go out for pizza again!
