Homemade pizza crust! What a treat for my husband and me. I’ve never made dough from scratch before and this couldn’t be easier.
I found this recipe over the weekend and have already made it twice. To make it even easier, I cut out the step where I beat the ingredients together.
I just use my hands. So easy and good! Both times I’ve used this dough recipe with the Classic Margherita Pizza recipe on this website. What a great combination!
Try to get a pizza stone if you don’t have one because it bakes perfectly. Both times my husband keeps on forgetting I made it from scratch and didn’t pick it up at a gourmet restaurant. Bravo!
