It was an easy recipe but I think I killed my yeast because the water was too hot. The dough did not rise at all. I used it anyway it was just thin and crispy.

Quite honestly I make homemade pizza far more often than I order take-out, and I couldn't really find a crust that my family really loved. But this one was by far the family favorite. Makes a great thin or thick crust pizza. I will definitely be keeping this one on hand.

I don't know why this recipe makes a better pizza dough, but it does! It is really good when you cook it in a cast iron pan like Alex did on her show.

I've made this recipe about ten times now and I've noticed some things that might help someone making it for the first time.
The part were it says, "blend until smooth with your hands"... yeah... don't do that unless you like big gobs of dough slimed all over your hands and in your finger nails. Just use a spatula which is much easier, scrap the sides, fold into the middle repeat, little elbow grease, your done. Also, after you add the remaining flour and start to notice little flakes of dough and flour that isn't blending that's when you'll want to use that, "1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil..." I drizzle about half a tablespoon onto the top half, work the bottom up and use the other half. Making sure to blend the flaky bits of dough in with the oil. After the dough rises I split mine into two good sized pizza's and cook for 15 minutes in a preheated 425 degree gas oven.

I rarely comment on recipes, but I had to give this recipe credit because it is AMAZING. My pizza dough came out tender and crispy and absolutely delicious. The only substition I made was using sugar instead of honey, just because of a personal taste preferance. But other than that, this recipe is a KEEPER!

I've been making pizza at home using store bought dough. This is my first attempt to make my own dough, and it was amazing! I didn't have unbleached AP flour, so I used half bread flour and half bleached AP flour. Mixed the dough with hand mixer with dough attachment, and kneaded it by hand for a while to develop gluten. It had a nice salty flavor, chewiness, and crispiness, which was perfect to make this thin crust fresh tomato pizza with fresh mozzarella, thin sliced garlic and basil! I think it was better than some of the famous pizzeria around New England! It was so yummy that I ate twice as much as I normally eat!

I've tried several pizza dough recipes, but none were really worth saving. This one is a keeper. My boys loved it. Thanks!!! It was easy to make. The crust was nice and thick and, yes, tasty.
