    This was very good. I used straight whole wheat flour instead of the mix. I rolled the dough thin and substituted honey for the sugar. - 8/22/11

    Yes, it's just the crust, but these are two HUGE pieces with very thick dough (think XL pizza from a pizza place). Truthfully, if you like a thinner crust, you could probably get 16 slices (two large pizzas) and halve the calories.

    Worked great, I skipped the white flour too and used agave instead of sugar. - 5/3/16

    This recipe is delicious. Did the dough in my bread machine on the dough only setting. Then made it according to the directions. - 2/23/16

    Great base for Friday night pizza time! - 6/27/14

    I make this recipe often. I use about 1/4 of the oregano and basil - tastes great! Have also been experiencing with the addition of baking powder - now up two tsps per recipe. Makes crust bubbly and great. I spray my pizza pan with Pam and sprinkle with cornmeal -dough does not stick :-) - 9/29/13

    Just made this and could hardly wait for it to cool enough to cut . I just forgot to add the garlic but otherwise went by recipe (will add next time). I divided the whole dough recipe into thirds and only used one (enough for a 12 inch thin crust pizza). This is a keeper. - 5/6/13

    Really easy to make and great flavor! I made the dough heart shaped for Valentines Day and the whole family really liked it. Thanks for sharing! - 2/14/13

    Good pizza crust...and very filling. My husband would have liked it to be a little less on the whole wheat flour and more on the white flour. That defeats the purpose for me. I loved it and it was delicious. - 2/13/13

    Very good--did it in bread machine on dough setting :-) - 2/2/13

    This is my go-to recipe! Of course, I add black pepper and Italian spices until everyone sneezes, but it is perfect. Served with Mid's Tomato sauce it doesn't even need cheese or toppings! - 6/25/12

    LOVE! I've made this many times now. It's fool proof. I often double it, and freeze half. Thaws easily, and if you forget to take it out of the freezer in time, you can defrost it in the microwave and it's still good. And yes, really, even if you only let it rise for 10 minutes, it's still delicious - 5/19/12

    Delicious! It came out much better than things I make usually do. ;)

    Update: the freezing and reproofing tip works beautifully!!! - 5/15/12

    Definitely saving this one! Made dough for 2 thinnish-crust pizzas. Topped lightly with sauce and cheese, then piled with fresh peppers, onions, tomatoes, and olives for a not-so-unhealthy pizza! Worked well using the "Pizza Crust Yeast" packet. - 2/7/12

    This dough was great! I did have to add some extra water (I didn't measure) as it was too dry. Will definitely make again! - 1/30/12

    Brilliant. I overcooked my pizza, but it was still awesome. Definitely coming back to this one again and again. - 7/29/11

    From my husband down to my great nephew...everyone loved this one! - 7/25/11

    This is a great pizza crust recipe! I really like that it has garlic and herbs in the crust - fantastic. The only change that I made was that I used bread flour instead of the combination of white and whole wheat because it had a better texture in my opinion. I would totally recommend this recipe! - 4/10/11
  • MICHELELYNN777
    We loved this crust! The herbs made it so flavorful and the texture was good for whole wheat. It was so easy to make with mixer/dough hook! Looking forward to using this with many pizza recipes-yum! - 3/27/11

    It didnt come out the way it should have. I'm going to try it again to see if it works out better next time. - 3/2/11

    I made this last night and it was perfect! I've been making pizza for awhile and was never satisfied with my different dough recipes, but this is the one! I love that it makes two batches so I can have pizza again! The good texture comes from KNEADING the dough for 1 minute - 11/20/10
