This is a thick and chewy pizza dough that is crisp on the bottom with very good flavor, however to get the flavor you will have to allow the dough to rise several times. dough makes 2 12″ pizzas and can be frozen for later use. I also use this same recipie to make french bread, garlic bread. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
