Pizza Dough and Sauce
I make the dough with 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat flour. It gives the crust more substance and a better flavor. Even my kids and their cousins prefer it this way. I like using olive oil in both the crust and the sauce.
Since we only eat one pizza for a meal, I have included two methods for freezing the second one, or you can freeze both for OAMC. NOTE: prep time does NOT include rise time.

I have made this numerous times and we all love it. I also use the half white/half wheat combo; it is perfect. It is so much better than buying nasty frozen pizzas to feed your kids and it doesn't take that much effort to make your own dough. Who knew?!!? We love this and I thank you for posting. So no one else will have to do the math: 3/4 tbsp=2 1/4 tsp -
I have used this recipe for over a year and haven't reviewed it till now. It is wonderful! I have changed the cooking time a bit: 475 degree oven (my old oven is always kind of like, "Seriously?") for 8-12 minutes. Like other reviewers, I cook the dough without the toppings for 5 minutes to help with sogginess. Great recipe! This is one of my stand-bys.

I am ONLY reviewing the SAUCE, I followed the recipe exactly. I used it for pizzas and the thick red canned tomato PASTE was all we could taste, we couldn't taste any of the seasoning. Sorry, I just can't give it more stars.

I love this crust. I made it with 1/2 wheat flour and 1/2 white flour and the texture was better than any I have had out. It was crisp not soggy. I had to make double the batch of sauce because I simmered mine for a while and we kept finding things to dip into it before time to add to the crust. I added a little basil, garlic powder and onion powder to the sauce and it was to die for. I also placed the crust in the oven for about 5 or 6 minutes before adding the sauce. Thanks so much Marg for posting. This was my first home made pizza but it will not be my last.

Good deal! Making your own pizza is so much better than ordering, gotta say. This recipe is pretty spot on; I use a bread machine for the dough, and I tend to make my own pizza sauce recipe as well.
