Ever since I bought a stand mixer I've been a dough making maniac. This is by far the best pizza I've made yet. I even made the sauce from fresh tomatoes. Pan pizza is my favorite and this beats all the local pizza places for under $5 a pie.

Toppings: Pepperoni, jalapeno, mushroom, red onion, and bacon.

I started making my own pizza a couple of years ago. So much better than bought. (Although, I can't seem to get the crust as thick)

Me too but what I don't have is a pizza oven, which is how the restaurants make it taste good.

Try grilling it. Take your dough and use a silicone brush to cover one side with olive oil, slap it on the grill for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is cooked and maybe starting to brown a bit. While that is happening, cover the top with OO. Once the bottom is cooked, flip the dough and add on your ingredients. Cook for maybe 5 minutes on medium to med-high heat. Until the bottom begins to char and the cheese is well melted. Serve!

Yup, when I dig the grill out of the snow, I'll give it a shot. Sadly 4-6 months out of the year it's not grill weather.

I went down the road to a steel shop and got them to cut my a 16 x 12 inch piece of half inch steel. Oiled it. Put the oven on 450 for 30 - 60 minutes to heat up and then put the pizza on top. Cooks in 10 minutes.

Have you tried making a Sicilian style dough? That should get thick and airy.

I looked up a recipe. I'll give it a try.
