We had pizza made with this crust tonight, and it was a hit. I made one batch of my old recipe and one batch of this recipe, and we had a bit of an informal taste test. Your recipe won! I was a little nervous that I had the amount of yeast wrong since I keep bread machine yeast around instead of regular yeast, but it seemed to substitute out equally. I might actually let the bread machine do the work next time, not that it was hard by hand. I didn’t taste the vinegar, by the way. Maybe cuz I like lots of fresh garlic!

I’m on a journey to find the perfect pizza crust. This one was OK, but the amount of vinegar added a kind of weird flavor to the crust. It has potential though–maybe with a little less vinegar.

My new go-to pizza crust! Super easy and quick. I want to spread it thinner next time… but it was still great. THANKS!

I just noticed, I didn’t come back to comment and follow up, but the pizza I made with this recipe was simply sublime, my husband still asks me to make it, and mentions it as the best I’ve made. So, thank you for a wonderful recipe!

Tried it again last night with much better results. Took your advice and divided the dough in two and it made two generously sized medium pizzas.
I preheated both pans (actually one was a stone) at 450 and let the pizzas cook for approximately 12 minutes each.
My wife and her friend both liked it.

Made this last night and it didn’t rise after resting for an hour. I think I may have killed the yeast with the salt, though. Saw a tip on the redstar website that suggested not letting salt come directly in contact with the yeast. They suggest mixing in half of the flour and then adding the salt.
With all of that said, however, I still made a couple of pizzas with it and, after consuming 75% of the first one, not bad dough.
I’ll try it again, Sarah. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Hi, Sarah – I’m in the midst of making this pizza dough – the vinegar intrigues me, can’t wait to see what it does! I am concerned – in your related blog post, the salt is 1.5 teaspoons, while here it is 1.5 tablespoons. This is a really large amount of salt for four cups of flour. Several years ago, I bought Van Over’s “The Best Bread Ever”, and decided to start with his Pullman Loaves. Against my better judgment, I used the tablespoon of salt called for in the recipe, and ruined my bread. I discovered the publisher had put errata for the book online, but too late! Oh, how I hate to waste perfectly good ingredients! (Because there are three teaspoons to a tablespoon, this would be triple the amount necessary!) I point this out, not to be critical, but to save someone else a batch of ruined pizza dough, so please forgive me. I’ll finish up, and come back to submit a review of the pizza dough, this evening.

Fantastic tip! I can use all the dough help I can get. Thanks.
