Yours is even easier, although I started proofing the yeast because I liked the texture of the crust better when I did that. Do you let yours rise for an hour?

Yum!!!!!!!!!! I'm craving it now!

White pizza with tomatoes, fresh basil and mushrooms...yum.

Or homemade pizza with pesto and blackened shrimp. Or farmer's market sausage and homemade mozzerella.

Yumm..pesto and shrimp! Do you use hte pesto as the "sauce"... what else do you put on it? Cheese?​

I have let it rise it says 45 min.....till doubled in size. I cheat though and put the oven on and set the dough in a bowl on a pivot if I do. I can't say I notice a difference either way but maybe, since so long in between making them.​

Redhen,

I use the pesto as sauce and I do use cheese. I use Alton Brown's blackening spice recipe for the shrimp, modified for my kid who doesn't do hot foods. It is soooo good!

Blackening Spice recipe ( I don't remember how much I followed it, I think I just used it as a guideline)

1/2 part toasted ground fennel seed
1/2 part toasted ground cumin seeds
1 part toasted ground celery seeds
1/4 part toasted ground white peppercorns
1/4 part toasted ground black peppercorns
1/2 part confectioners sugar
1/4 part papricka
1/4 garlic powder
1 part ground dried onion flacks
1 part chile powder

a part being whatever measure you want to use. I think I used a teaspoon.

I like lots of different pizzas, but my favorite would have to be DESSERT PIZZA!

I do the lazy way, buy a package of frozen bread loaves....let it thaw and there you go, instant pizza dough! Makes terrific breadsticks too!

Ohhh... pizza....

My favorite is homemade 100%. My mom's crust comes out with the perfect crispiness, and we make homemade mozzarella which spreads and stretches like heaven... not to mention the taste. And I prefer mine with Hormel Natural pepperoni.

Second to that is from a local pizza shop... Theirs is so greasy it makes you feel deliciously guilty while eating it.

Can anyone recommend a GOOD mozzerella cheese that would give out stretchy strings instead of stiff rubbery paperlike cheese? I've used Artistic cheese (think it is made by Kraft) but not the REAL thing I can find at the store that stood up very well on pizzas.

Can you give me the brand name, and where you got your cheese from?

Throw a bit of Parmasean cheese and Romano cheese, yummy!
