Anyone make pizza crust?

Do you have a favorite receipe?  Can the dough be frozen? 

I bought dough at Trader Joe's, but I did not like it very much (it was 100% whole wheat, which is just too "wheaty" for my pizza.  I was thinking I could just make some myself.  There are a zillion receipes for it, so I was looking for one someone has tried.

  • Easypizzacrust.com has alot, and sauces too!
  • I don't have a recipe actually.  I just throw 2 cups of warm water and yeast in a bowl, stir it slightly and let it sit 5 minutes.  Then I add flour and knead it until it is all mixed and is at a good consistancy (fairly easy to handle but still a tiny bit sticky).  Then I rub oil all over it (I just use corn oil).  I cover it and let us sit until it about doubles  (usually takes a couple of hours...depending on how warm your house is).  I actually put it in a large Tupperware bowl with a lid and I cover it with a towel.  Sometimes I put the over on and sit it on top of the stove (for the warmth).  If I'm in a big hurry I'll wrap a beach towel around the whole bowl and put it in the over on "warm" for about 15 minutes and then turn the oven off.  It really speeds up the process.  I then just put it out on a cookie sheet (I guess they are actually called a jellyroll pan because they have sides) put I add a tiny bit more oil to the pan.  I put my toppings on including the cheese and put the sauce over all of that.  It takes about 30 minutes on 350 to bake.  I always put the sauce on top of the other stuff and just smear it around a bit because then the cheese doesn't burn.

    I've never tried freezing it.  Not sure what it would do to the yeast.  I'll have to google.
