 Michelle (Montana) says:
Very good. Easy. Used tbsp sugar and honey as others had requested. Will use the herbs next time. Great for busy families on the go!

I was convinced this would not be very good, but I tried it anyway. I was wrong, it's simple but still very tasty. Did the honey thing like many others (half honey/half sugar), and put some EVOO on my hands when rolling the dough for easier cleanup and a little added taste to the crust. There are a lot of small tweaks you can do with this recipe to keep it interesting.

Just a little added advice.If you roll out the dough and form your pizza's, you can put them in a freezer bag and freeze them. They stay good for a couple months. Even though I don't recommend freezing but for home use its totally OK.

Super easy! I used half brown flour/ half white, worked out great! The kids loved it! (tough crowd to please most nights.) I love the fact that you don't have to wait some ridiculous amount of time for the dough to rise. Perfect recipe for the mama or papa on the go!

It's super easy. It's my first time making pizza. All I got was compliments. Honey instead of sugar is the way to go!!! Love it, love it and love it!!

I tried this recipe with adding a teaspoon of garlic and I thought that it tasted amazing. It definitely added some taste to the crust.

My 3 year old daughter and I make pizza all the time using store-bought dough. Tonight she wanted pizza and we had all the ingredients to make it... except for the dough! The baby was asleep and I couldn't make a trip to the store. I found this one online and we made it together. Yum! Super-fast and tasty. I'm adding it to my list of top 5 things to make at home with my kid!

This is an awesome recipe in a hurry. I tried it out for my husband and his friend and it was a super hit! I added an extra tsp of sugar (brown) and used whole white flour. I would let it rise a bit longer next time though.

 John Alexander (Texas) says:
Instead of honey, I put in 6 tbsp. coriander and 4 tbsp. crushed mint. It also helped to use very cold water instead of hot water.

I used the recipe but left out the honey and basil. I used 1 tbsp. turbinado (RAW) sugar, 1 tsp. salt and a shot of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). I added 1 tbsp. fennel to the dough and 1 tsp. cracked pepper. I let the yeast rise, added the sugar then tossed all into my Kitchen Aid mixer with the dough hook. I added the evoo right before I pulled off the mixer. Rolled dough out thin and square for a calzone sort of pocket/envelope that I filled with my homemade sausage sauce. Lowered rack and set 20 minutes at 400°F preheated gas oven. Added salad, glass of red wine and just a small slice of my GREAT pizza. Thin and crispy crust! YUM!

Good recipe, also used the honey and made the salt and sugar to 1 tbsp. Added about 1 tbsp. dry basil. Made the kitchen smell great while baking.
