This was excellent pizza crust. Easy to make, the dough was easy to handle. I made 3 thin-crust pizzas with it and they turned out beautifully. Thank you for posting.

I must say that this was an easy dough recipe. I used flour on my hands to keep the dough from sticking, it was tacky as stated. It raised nicely. I used the hole dough for one large square pan pizza. I was hoping for more air in the dough but at least it wasn't a heavy crust. I didn't feel the flavor was any different than the crusts that I've made in the past. Not bad though.
