The best tasting pizza crust! I already have a sauce I like, but was still hunting for the best crust recipe. This is it! The others I have tried were ok, but sort of bready/bland. The beer MUST be the key! Dont substitute another liquid. Be sure to cook on a preheated pizza stone at around 500 degrees for a good crust. Crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. YUM!

My review is for the pizza sauce only; I used a gluten-free Udi's pre-made pizza crust. I had to make minor adjustments to the sauce recipe due to lack of available ingredients, but it still turned out fantastic. Although, if I had the fresh ingredients on-hand, they would have been my preference. I used about 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp minced garlic, no fresh garlic. My can of tomatoes was only a 14.5 oz can, and then I chopped 1 1/2 large fresh tomatoes with juice. My tomato paste can was an 8 oz., I used only one. I used 1/2 tsp basil seasoning, instead of fresh basil; as well as 1/2 tsp oregano seasoning, instead of fresh oregano. Additionally, I used 1 TBSP of pizza seasoning blend. This made quite a bit of sauce. I have enough left over sauce to make an additional pizza, plus a single serving size of sauce to eat with pasta. *Toppings: Orange bell pepper slices, thin sliced fresh tomato, pepperoni, fresh grated mozzarella, packaged grated cheddar, parmesan cheese, and fresh chopped parsley.

This totally bombed for us :( I almost rated it a two star... something I have never done before! The sauce is better in than the crust, but even still I had to pretty much double the spices and add salt to get it tasting better (I NEVER add salt, I usually try to lower the sodium!) It still was off so I looked at other recipes and noticed they typically had some sugar added so I added maybe 1 Tbl of brown sugar. In the end the sauce was good. The dough. Ughhh. So bad! So dense it was like a brick! I thought it might have been bad yeast, but we did a taste test with another recipe and that raised properly... I don't know, I followed the recipe and it just never did raise properly.

I love the bread dough, it was delicious. The sauce wasn't what I would call awesome but it worked.

I really like the flavor is this fast and easy pizza sauce, but I did not try the dough recipe.

I made the crust last night. Oh my goodness! It smelled so good and tasted just as good. I made a calzone last night and plan to make bread sticks with the left over dough tonight. I can't wait!

Used the bread maker. Just through it all in. Made the crust and baked the pizza right away. Great texture and taste for the crust. It was crispy on the outside, chewy inside. The bottom got nice and crisp which made it easy to eat by hand without it flopping over. I baked at 450 degrees for 15 min. Just used can pizza sauce to save time. Had leftovers warmed in the toaster oven and was really impressed that crust was still crunchy, even the bottom. As good as restaurant crust.
