No Fail Pizza Crust
Good morning everyone. Today is going to be a yucky rainy day here in Dallas. Of course today is the day we are having our open house. Oh well I know we can't control Mother Nature. Last night I prepared some cookie dough so I could make some fresh cookies today for the open house. I couldn't help myself, just give me an excuse to bake and you know I will do it.
I chose to make my favorite Oatmeal Scotchies. Today is Sunday so you know what that means, Potluck Sunday.
I think it is my favorite day of posts because of all the yummy recipe contributions. So I want to say thank you to everyone who links up every week.
Friday night is homemade pizza night at our house. We usually only make pizza twice a month, but now it is becoming our Friday night ritual.
When I make homemade pizza I usually use my favorite quick and easy pizza crust recipe. Well, earlier in the week I had found a new No Fail Pizza Crust recipe that I just couldn't wait to try.
I found this recipe in my thrifty fun recipe newsletter that I receive. This newsletter had all sorts of great recipes from home cooks. The person who contributed this recipe got it from a friend from Sandhills Nebraska 30 years ago so I knew it had to be good.
My favorite recipes are the ones from folks before us mom's, grandmas and great grandma's.
I love that fact that this pizza dough does not have to sit and rise.
I did let the dough rest for about 20 minutes, but that is just my personal preference. My husband loves a thin crust pizza, but I like a semi thick pizza crust that is chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
That is exactly how this crust turned out. Perfection if you ask me. I know everyone has their very own favorite pizza crust recipe, but this one is my new go to recipe for pizza. I hope you will give it a try. In usual fashion the full recipe is at the end of this post.

Here are some step by step photos of this perfect no fail pizza dough. It was really easy to work with and I had no problems stretching the dough out to fit the pizza pan. The pans we use have holes in the bottom for even cooking, but I still want to a pizza stone. Everyone I talk to says the stones make the perfect pizza crust.
Carson helped me load up all our pizza toppings. We chose ground beef, sausage and pepperoni on one side and pepperoni and cheese on the other. I like to add two layers of pepperoni's one on the bottom and then more on top of the cheese.
