    Followed the instructions and the pizza tasted very good. I struggled with the crust. I let the crust refrigerate for 19 hours and never could get the crust to stretch out to my desired thickness. The crust was just too thick. I let it set for 10 minutes (twice and it still wouldn't stretch out like it should. Needless to say my pizzas were maybe 6" in diameter. Could use help

    I can't count or even remember. Anyone trying to perfect the art of making pizza should pay attention to Alton on this one. Try to catch the episode on TV because some things get lost in the recipe. Once you get this down it's easy and one of the best things you've ever learned. Simply topped as described or any leftovers from your fridge - everything is better on top of a pizza - will make one of your best dinners. I think people don't realize what a great back-up pantry item pizza really is. I rarely have to go out and by special ingredients. Some of the best pizzas I have made were 'accidents'. Guess what's for dinner tonight.....

    Very good pizza dough. It's been difficult to find a pizza dough recipe that keep the dough flat, not thick and puffy.

    But next time I'll reduce the salt like the reviewers suggested.

    As with all of AB's recipes, this is awesome pizza dough. Just like the real stuff in NYC. Well worth the wait.

    We've tried this recipe and it keeps getting closer to what we are hoping for with a good pizza dough. However, the past three times I've followed the recipe religiously at the beginning in terms of adding the ingredients (I've even taped the episode of Good Eats where this recipe comes from and run from the kitchen to the living room to make sure I'm doing it just right!, after the first mixing, the dough is very wet and sticky. I've added more flour (1/2 cup to get it to more of a "doughy" consistancy where it is not sticky any more. And I haven't gotten the hang of stretching the dough at the other end of the process--its very elastic and always seems too thick in some spots and too thin/tearing in others.

    Overall the taste is great, but the problems (and they really could be operator error here make it not the easiest recipe to work with.

    Not as easy as it looked on the show to get to the right consistency, but still works and tastes better than any other I've tried.

    I believe Alton specifically said on the show that "instant" yeast is not the same as "rapid rise".....I REALLY want to try this recipe as I am crazy about a good pizza crust, but I cannot find "instant" yeast anywhere! Any hints....were all of these reviewers able to find it?

    Loved the pizza crust. Just like New York. One problem: I tried to double the recipe but the curst came out tough.
