SO HOW'D IT GO?
Err are you supposed to use regular active yeast or the quick rise kind. I don't know if i worked it too much or what but its hard as a brick. Tastes good but very uh crunchy.. :-\
I've used this recipe many times and have found it to be a really tasty, foolproof, simple recipe that is easy to add to or alter to an individuals preferences. For example, I used whole wheat flour, added a spoonful of sugar, bunch of italian herbs, and subbed garlic salt for the regular salt. YUM!!
I just made this tonight and am disappointed that the middle is still undercooked even after 15 minutes. I guess I didn't roll it out thin enough. I'll try it again because it smells so good and I want to eat it!
The same thing happened to me when I made it yesterday. The flavor was good but it was "doughy" in the middle. I will try it again and roll it out thinner.
ive had this happen before too.
the secret is that when you put the pizza back in the second time, DONT put it on the baking sheet.
instead, put it right on the rack with a baking sheet under it so you dont have to clean the oven afterwards. :)
you might also want to try leaving it in the oven a bit longer the first time around...maybe fifteen minutes or until it looks VERY light brown.
OK, thanks. I will try that next time. I think I will make it again this weekend. I will let you know how it turns out.

I have made this a couple of times since my first review, and rolling it out thinner did help. I haven't tried putting it right on the rack the second time in. I'll try that next time. It's such a yummy recipe and I like adding things to the dough to give it a little different flavor to go with my toppings!

yum yum yum yum!!!!! so easy and fast! here's what i did: made the dough, used garlic powder and oregano to spice the dough up (and i love love love garlic). sprayed the pizza sheet with some PAM and rolled the dough out with a rolling pin. I made some quick pizza sauce with some tomato paste, water, balsamic vinegar (gives it a nice tang) and minced garlic. yum. put that on the precooked crust, diced some roma tomatoes, and sliced some large rounds of beefsteak tomatoes. also used some chopped FRESH organic basil and sprinkled all that on top. tasted like bruschetta on a pizza! SO GOOD SO GOOD. everyone should use this recipe. i love easy stuff! :D
Does anyone think you can make this ahead of time and freeze? I feel silly asking this since it it "quick" and "easy" but I'm making some food for my boyfriend (who won't take the time to cook) to keep in the freezer so he can make himself lunch and not run to the lunch truck. I think it would be easier to take a premade pizza crust out of the freezer, top it and bake it (like one of those Bobeli pizza shells). Any thoughts?
Very easy. Yet amazing. ;D
made this without the yeast & only maybe half the oil. used 1 cup ww flour and 1/4 cup all purpose & all the seasonings found in the 'herb crust pan pizza' recipe from this site. i topped it with some pesto and fresh zucchini. pepper & tomato from my friends garden. it had to bake around 15+ minutes but the flavor was great. super fast & easy!
