Thanks for the recipe. A twist you might like is adding some veggies to the dough. I like pimiento, bell pepper and onion and garlic.

My pizza dough is very simple. for a 1/2 sheet pan pizza:

1 lb. bread flour
9 oz. warm water
2 oz. olive oil
pinch of salt
1/2 package of compressed yeast
Mix with a dough hook for 6 or 7 minutes.

Pretty simple. I never took to using dried yeast so my formulas are stranger than others.
