Mmmmm Yummy.
We tried this to christen my new Pizza Maker tonight.
First pizza stuck rather horribly, but after a liberal cover with flour the rest were wonderful including a fruit pizza with mango and banana.
Sorry no photos.  They were eaten as soon as they reached the table.

I find that coarse polenta or semolina works very well and also adds texture to the dough.

Thanks JB.  I will remember to do that next time.
 The pizzas were great but didn't look the best after having to be removed rather forcibly from the stone   ;)
DGS gave a big thumbs up and that is a bonus as he is just so fussy about food.  (Another Asperger's trait  :-))  )
He had several pieces and even enjoyed the fruit one i made.

Going out in the kitchen to make this dough in a minute, thinking the pizza pockets will be nice with left over xmas meat etc,..

Made this tonight and cooked it on my pizza stone.  Awesome.
Cheers, Nola.

I've used this recipe a few times now and it's my favourite. Had quick easy Saturday night dinner ready in no time. DD who is 5 loved doing the toppings.

I also love this pizza base.  I've tried many over the years because we like to make our pizzas at home on Friday nights for an easy dinner and this base is hands down the best for thin and crispy!

Made pizza with this dough last night and OMG how lovely and easy is it.
DS added his topping and even got to roll it out, which I normally don't let him do for fear of wrecking the dough.
DH and I had our own with camembert, chicken, red onion, capsicum, sun dried tomatoes and a swirl of BBQ sauce on top of pizza sauce on it. Yummmy  :)
Def make again

This is my favorite pizza dough as well. although that's a little lie cause I have yet to tried any other pizza dough to compare it with. But I usually stick to what I know works ;)

Love this recipe.  A friend brought a pizza made locally and sealed in a vacuum  pack,  as a hostess gift.  I thought we could easily make a pile and put them in the freezer as an emergency meal. The one in the photo was frozen.  I have added some extra bits.  It is thin crust and uncooked. It has a backing of baking paper which is left on until cooked. Instructios say for a crisp base just put on wire rack in oven,  otherwise on oven tray.   I am trying to post a photo but computer will not let me.  GRRRR Will try again later.

Can't wait... Going to try this one tonight. I always see to have trouble getting my base crispy and cooked thru. So excited with all the positive comments here. And what a great idea for an even quicker meal to have some frozen!!!!!!!

Also love the fac I don't have to start an hour or so before. It's 3:30 and I thought I better get on and search for one il TRY this time as I expected to need to be 'organised' in time. Will let you know how I go!

2nd Sat night in a row - this is a winner!

It's a OMG it's 6.30pm and I haven't even contemplated what's for dinner savior. The dough is ready in minutes, topping another couple of minutes and oven 12 mins. Dinner in 20 mins! Too cool!
