If molasses is scary, use Honey. You can also achieve a more tender crust by letting the dough rise for longer. If you have the time, let it rise one hour, punch it down (squish it to remove the air) and let it rise an additional half hour. It’s totally worth it. (Even better, let it rise overnight. I hardly ever have the patience for that though.)

I’ve also found that it’s easier to get round pizzas when I shape before I let it rise. Just separate the dough into 4 parts, shape into balls, and let rise, covered, on a cookie sheet. (a little oil on top will prevent crusting, and if they touch, they’ll come right apart.)

I could go on and on. I might have a problem.

Thumbs up here! I got nervous and backed off the molasses a little and didn’t notice it in the flavor at all. Also, I ended up adding another cup of flour, but I might have been short to begin with – there’s something about cooking with a small toddler hanging on your leg that keeps it interesting.

Also since I’m short on counter space (organizational issues . . . one of the reasons I’m on this site!) I rolled the dough out on the hot stone which gave me some challenges, but I ended up liking it. I rolled some and then flipped it over, and rolled it out the rest of the way and I think that helped make the crust more crisp.

I wonder if you could freeze the unbaked dough? I don’t know why not . . . I might try that, since it’s just hubs, the baby goose, and me.

Tracy,
I would need to know what exactly you didn’t like about the crust. Too chewy, too strongly flavored etc. If you can give me those parameters I can probably offer a tweaked version that should fit your needs. Also, I need to know if you did anything different than the directions stated.

I made this dough with black strap mollases, it was all I had. We didnt care for it too much. Did this make a diffrence I wonder? We love pizza but hate the prices. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make a better pizza crust, or maybe explain what I did wrong. Thanks!

I got a new pizza pan recently and it came with a pizza dough recipe. It was 2 hours of WORK to get it done. And it wasn’t even that good. Lots of complicated directions and ingredients. I can’t wait to try this out. Homemade pizza is the best. Great for my toddler because I can load it up with all of these healthful things and she just gobbles it down without a word of protest just because it’s pizza.

I also have a pizza crust recipe on my blog that you may like too. I like the idea of adding seasoning to the dough!

Homemade pizza is the best! We have it every week!
