Yea. Another great Pizza crust recipe. I loved it. So easy to go together and the dough is very easy to work with. The crust was just what I look for in homemade pizza crust. Loved the addition of a little cornmeal and the hint of whole wheat. Thanks so much for sharing. -

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
