I wasn't really in the mood to make pizza. My homemade pizza attempts in years past have been disappointing. But I had mozzarella cheese and some Italian sausage to use up, and making the pizza ended up being pretty fun!
The crust recipe is easy and turned out well. You have to allow an hour for the dough to rise, so it takes a bit of planning ahead. I cut the recipe in half and made one big pizza on a cookie sheet. It turned out nice; looked very rustic and hearty.
Like the previous recipe (biscuits), I found working with the dough to be very satisfying. Makes you feel like you're REALLY a cook! Punching down the dough, using a rolling pin...YEAH!
Things I would do differently next time:
Spray the cookie sheet with cooking spray or lightly oil it. My crust stuck to the cookie sheet.
Use tomato sauce instead of crushed tomatoes. The juice from the crushed tomatoes made the top of the crust a bit soggy, and the tomato flavor was a little weak.
