Best Pizza dough 8/22/23

 


So this is a great dough recipe. We are NOT deep dish people so step 10 below is not what we did. We took a small portion of the dough and rolled it really thin and let it rise for 20 minutes. It easily made 4 pizzas. We use the Lodge and also a pizza stone, both worked really well.
