    This is very easy to put together and the dough fairly easy to work with. I found it easiest to stretch one ball out bit at a time and place it over an upside down bowl to allow gravity to help me along. My only problem is that I don't have a peel or an oven stone. I had to use just a baking sheet. It took about 7 minutes to cook and there were still some spots not quite done, particularly under the toppings. It just wasn't the right texture, but it tasted great. The crusts without topping was great. So, next time, to avoid having to buy more equipment, I'm going to try a 12" cast iron skillet next, preheated in the oven. But if that fails, I'll break down & buy the stuff and go with this again, as directed. This was the closest I've come to good pizza at home.

    Ideal for those days when you can plan ahead and need something that requires no effort. Produces a nice pizza dough with a great crust.

    Really easy, really light, pizza crust. I was even tempted to try throwing into shape! I was dubious at first that just a 1/4 tsp yeast would deliver.. but 14 hours later (benched in an 18 - 20 C kitchen) truly doubled in size and a lovely dough to work with.

    This recipe produced the best pizza crust I have ever made - and I've made quit a few. It's really true that no kneading is required, and it only takes five minutes to stir the ingredients together the night before you make your pizzas, making great pizza possible even on a busy weeknight - chewy yet tender, and plump with beautiful air pockets, just like the photos in the book. I liked it so much, I made it three times in one week! One time I used bread flour, and noticed no real difference. One comment I read on Amazon stated that there is a missing step in the book, and you should allow the balls of dough to rest for another hour after shaping them. I didn't find it problematic to start stretching the dough right away, although I did find that the balls that had sat the longest were easier to stretch, so if you have the time it's probably worth waiting.
