Homemade Pizza Crust
Nothing makes you hungrier than the smell of homemade pizza baking in the oven. The fresh pizza crust rising with the heat and the melting cheese. Almost nothing can compare. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and make one, sit back and smell the aroma while it is baking, and then enjoy!
An integral part of the American pizza is a thin, crispy crust, unlike the thick crust of Italian pizzas. Most pizza crusts contain yeast and are made like other yeast breads.
Often, however, many of the time-consuming tasks associated with making yeast breads are eliminated by using packaged pizza mixes or convenience ingredients such as hot roll or biscuit mixes.
