This is just a regular old pizza recipe that you can find anywhere. How about using some real flour, like Durum, Semolina, or a high gluten flour. Try experimenting with the flour and the liquid(v-8 makes an interesting dough) to find the one you like best.

This is a great simple pizza crust recipe. I make mine in a mixer with a bread hook, but be careful not to over mix and the crust will be tough. I didn't prebake mine any and it came out perfect.

This is the best crust recipe i've found so far. It was pretty good, though it was a little too much like a biscuit.
