I use this recipe a LOT! Easy to make and has a nice flavor from the herbs. Has a nice light texture. I did mix this briefly in my KA, and rather than rolling out the dough, hand-tossed it. I baked this on parchment on my baking stone, which I find makes moving the dough/pizza around very easy as I can just tug the paper onto my peel. Among the pics I have posted: one is of the dough, one of the dough made into pepperoni pizza, and one of the dough made into roasted galic, sd-tomato and chevre pizza, and 3 others made into calzone. Thanks for posting!

    This is an excellent pizza dough, and it is very simple to make - I did the entire thing in the Kitchenaid. So good, in fact, I list it as a recommended ingredient for my pizza recipe! I use your recipe for all of the pizzas I make now.

    outstanding! i just finished throwing out my old pizza dough recipe! i knew as soon as i picked up the dough to knead it that it was a much lighter dough than my last recipe! what a nice, light dough that fluffs up nicely! i added about 1/2 cup grated parmesan to the dough. i also didn't have italian seasoning, so i added 1/2 tsp of the following: thyme, marjoram, summer savory and oregano. it was really good. next time i'm going to crush up a garlic clove and throw it in there too for fun. thank you, thank you, thank you-my hubby thanks you too!

    Count me in on the kudos and five stars for this recipe! I am not a novice cook, but I am definitely a novice yeast bread baker and even I didn't screw this one up. I did cheat a little and use my Kitchenaid to make it even easier. It is rather humid here and my dough was still quite sticky after 3 1/2 cups of flour and I ended up slowly having to add 1 cup more to get it to the right texture. I split the dough in half and made two huge calzones and a small focaccia bread that I topped with olives, sundried tomatoes, fresh basil, and parmesan. Wow, you would have thought I was a professional baker with the beautiful calzones and focaccia that came out of my oven. The aroma was unbelievable. While this won't keep us from frequenting our favorite NY style pizza joint, this is a great and tasty recipe when you want to stay at home and have a tender, ever-so-slightly chewy pizza crust. Thanks for a recipe that is a keeper for sure!

    This is a delicious pizza dough. I kinda cheated and made it in my bread machine instead of how the recipe called for. I also made bread sticks with half of the dough. DH loved them and the pizza too. I put a mixture of oil,minced garlic,garlic salt and oregano over top of the bread sticks before I baked them. Love the Italian seasoning in the dough. Thanks for sharing your pizza dough recipe!

    I got it by good authority that this was the pizza dough that I must try and I have to say it is by far the best one that I have ever tried (and I have tried several here at zaar) I resisted using my bread machine and actually mixed this by hand. I'm a big girl now. lol I added a little garlic but other than that followed your instructions to the T. The crust came out excellent and my kids declared this was the best pizza I have ever made. Thanks so much for sharing. My quest for the best pizza dough is over!

    This is such an easy pizza dough to make and it tastes really good. I baked mine on baking paper on an oven tray. I baked just the base for 5 minutes and the with the toppings for another 20 minutes, I'd probably give it about five minutes less next time as it was a little more crispy than I would have liked it to be. Thanks for sharing this great recipe. I'll definitely be using it again!

    I decided to triple this and make a pile of pizzas for the kids lunchboxes. This was the best dough recipe yet and I think I will stop searching now. We like a thin crust so I didn't bake them as long as stated. I cut each into squares, froze in baggies and presto no more boring sandwiches. Now I can enjoy a few more sips of my morning coffee. The kids favorite was a bbq chicken. Hickory bbq sauce, diced cooked chicken breast, red onion, mushrooms and cheddar cheese.

    We enjoyed this recipe last night when our daughters had about a half dozen friends over. This recipe is easy, has a nice texture to the finished product along with good flavor from the herbs. It made two nice size crusts. The next time I’ll use a fork and poke holes in the crust before and during baking so we don’t get the air bubbles. We did bake the crust 10 minutes first as podapo stated glad we did that way there was no soggy crust. Thank you for sharing.

    I rolled out this dough and spread a spinach and cheese mixture on it and then rolled it up into a jelly roll, baked it and sliced it up. I live in Australia (former Minnesotan) and am still getting used to adjusting ingredients. I ended up having to add a lot more flour than the recipe called for, perhaps because I am at sea level or is the flour different here? It ended up tasting really good though. I'll definitely make it again!
