It was a success! Yeah!
I have made several pizza bases from recipe and packet, but none have ever hit the spot! Back in July I got a great recipe for a thick crust or what I would call a deep pan pizza from Shelly over at Kitchen Ranch. Her pizza just looked great! I filed the recipe and forgot all about it.
Boy was it worth the wait!
I topped my pizza with a really simple pizza sauce, mushrooms, onion, mozzarella, freshly ground pepper and dried oregano. You will notice that my pizza is quite well done, I like my pizza to be really crispy and starting to brown!

- Knead the ball for a couple minutes until it starts to become stretchy.
- Cover the dough with a tea towel and leave to rise for an hour. The dough will double in size.
