We had a hankering for pizza and some extra time, so I figured I could go ahead and make a basic pizza crust. I like this pizza crust even though it is so simple and straightforward (or should I say, because it's so simple and straightforward)! Since this is a basic pizza crust, it goes well with just about any pizza, and you can easily customize it when you're making your pizza. Since it does take a while to make the crust, I sometimes like to make enough for a few crusts and then freeze for later.
What's your favorite kind of pizza?

I've never made pizza crust before but it doesn't look as hard as I though it would be. Maybe I'll give it a try! Visiting from Coffee & Conversation
ReplyDeleteI've had a hankering for homemade pizza myself lately. I love that you used half whole wheat flour. I'm definitely pinning this and making for our next family fun night. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not too hard! Hope you get to give it a try, and feel free to ask any questions you may have. :)
