SO HOW'D IT GO?
what kind of yeast should I use? I have active dry and rapid rise instant yeast on hand. I am sure one of those is the right kind but I dont know which one because they measure differently and work differently...
This is my first review here after lurking for about a week, but this was fantastic! Couldn't believe how easy it was. My roommate saw me start making it and when it was ready just a little while later, she couldn't believe it was already set! Careful not to roll it too thin, though.
KPmustluvcats: instead of rolling the crust, if you hand toss it then it won't come out so thin and cracker-like, also, once you put it in/on your pan, poke it with a fork to vent, kept my crust fluffy and delicious!
isaytomatoes: i topped mine off with mushrooms, onions, green olives, and artichokes!
good luck!
awesome crust! we tripled it, a pizza for me, a pizza for my guy, and then enough for breadsticks! tons of leftovers for lunch! YUM!
Sounds great---but can anyone tell me what all those delicious-looking toppings I see in the photos are? I need ideas!
Hi! You can try red, yellow and/or green bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, fresh spinach, fresh basil, artichoke hearts, thinly sliced red onion, tofu ricotta cheese, fresh tomatoes, pineapple, fake meats... pretty much anything you like will be good on a pizza.

i make this crust when i dont have time fore my 2 hour bread machine crust. i always double the recipe and add garlic and seasonings. it tatses great. the only thing i dont like about it is you cant use whole wheat four, i tried just using a fourth of WW flour and the rest white and it still doesnt come out right. if you use all white flour it tastes great though.
It's good
This recipe is amazing. I haven't eaten pizza in months (since I started eating healty) but this recipe is surprisingly healthy. I used all whole wheat flour and apple sauce instead of oil or margarine. I did have a small problem with it sticking but that was my fault. Will be making over again. Oh and with the amount of homemade pizza sauce I used the whole pizza was still under 650 calories, (dough and sauce) and that was with extra flour b/c it was sticking.
I too was skeptical, considering lack of any mention of rising time. The crust WAS fantastic though, and I'm real glad I tried it. It made for the perfect pizza.
Just remember to roll the edges down and under the dough rather than on top, and go ahead and shape it, make it pretty. =)
