Hi Leslie,
I made this tonight and I think the kids would eat it again. Thanks for the recipe and the pictures, they inspired me!

Leslie, this looks YUM! I'm going to try it (maybe tonight). I'm all by myself so if it's a flop, no one else will care.
Another idea for quick pizza crust is to use flour tortillas. Just brush both sides with oil, put on a baking sheet, top with cheese, toppings and bake 450* for 7-8 min.
I love pizza.

Well, Monica, your review doesn't sound all that favorable. If you like bready crust this is not going to hit the spot. Maybe we don't get out enough for pizza?
Jody, I can't remember which restaurant it is that serves pizza on tortillas to the kids (chili's? applebees?) but I remember thinking it was a neat idea. Sometimes my kids like to make pizza on english muffins or french bread. I like the idea of tortillas because I like a real thin crust.
Well, Leslie, I'd eat it again even though I didn't get a full five thumbs up from the kids. But I have to confess I improvised a bit. This is a bit embarrassing. I tripled the recipe and put it in one jelly roll pan. Yes, I did. I don't have any of those nifty round pans, yet anyway. So when I pulled the crust out of the oven, it was this huge inflated pillow-looking thing. I felt exactly like Lucy Ricardo. Anyway, it deflated and I sauced it up, added some toppings, put it back in the oven and it came out looking quite edible. I think I should try it in smaller batches, you know how doubling or tripling a recipe isn't always a success, at least in my experience. I liked how it naturally had a "pizza handle" and the kids did say it reminded them of the popovers I once foisted on them so I think there is hope. Anyway, I'm not giving up on a pizza crust I don't have to knead.
There, that should expand more on our dining experience!
Monica, the first time I made this I used a regtangular pan and the dough wrinkled up in a crazy way. It seems to naturally want to expand outward from the middle...perfect for a round pan. I made three of these (we all like our pizza with different toppings) and we are huge eaters so with three we all get half a pizza (except for me because I do NOT need to eat half a pizza).
OH.. the point of me telling you that is with each pizza I made a fresh batch of dough. I just tossed it in my kitchen aide so it was not a big deal and it kept me from having to think too hard...always a plus. I strive to live a life free of math computations.
Your crust looks great! I am going to try this. I havent made one without yeast before. And I love that pizza poem!!!
I need to add that this pizza is best if you do not use tons of cheese. Go light on the cheese, heavy on the veggies and meat and it will be delish and not too soggy, soft.
