The important thing to me is the crust... We season the crust itself, as well as the toppings, and it's absolutely amazing stuff. My dad's been working on this recipe for many years:
2 c. milk/water (warm to the touch)
1 pckg. yeast
2 tbsp. sugar
2 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. olive oil
to taste: ground pepper, basil, oregano
Make and let stand for 10-15 minutes, then add flour (white or white/whole wheat mixed) until stiff.
Let rest 10-15 minutes. Push down and let rise until doubled. Knead, adding flour.
Spread onto pizza pans, top, and bake.
My favourite topping combination: spicy Italian sausage, goat's cheese, and asparagus. Yummy!!
