Though they look good I don't like thick doughy crust pizzas . If we could get the dough right, I would probably like homemade pizzas more.

You do have to get the crust right. Mine look thick and doughy but they are crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside.

I think if you Googled for a thin or crispy crust recipe you'd probably get closer to what you like. They would be lower hydration and probably have some oil in them.

Like this bad boy from Saturday night?  Sorry about the photo but I was out to eat the others didn't want to be in the picture.  Union Loafers in STL.  I like a little char on the crust.  Oh, and $3 stag drafts!!!

I didn’t even get a chance to take a pic of a baked pie that day. Making the dough is a process. If it’s not a pain In the arse it will probably suck.

If this isn't the best crust you ever had then you did it wrong. Period. It's not open for discussion. I shouldn't even share this with any of you.

HellNo. I've done all that. I've weighed rather than measure. I've sifted everything. Ordered high dollar flour. I've used honey instead of sugar. I've done just about everything to a crust that you can do and this one works as well if not better than anything else. You guys can try all the hoopla you find on the internet but I've already done most of that and this is the best that I have come up with. 

On that Saturday I asked this BB player if he was coming over to watch the super bowl. He said no. Had to head back to Arkansas that night. My daughter told him I was making pizza and his plans changed immediately.

Wow! You got a kid to change his plans by offering him pizza? It really must be good!

I won’t eat them.  Local market has 3 pound chickens.  I only eat those.  Not that they are any better, it’s just the size I prefer.  

I prefer a yard bird when it comes to nakie chickee choop choop.  Better flavor and usually more tender.

The one thing I will add is do it on a hot stone (450+) unless you have a real pizza oven.
