Very tasty pizza, definitely put in rotation. I've made the April 2010 CL Deep-dish Pepperoni Pizza several times since it was published but wanted to try this crust since it doesn't need the overnight rise. Great crust, and I used the Basic Pizza Sauce from April 2010 (makes enough to freeze 1/2 the sauce for next pizza night). Otherwise I followed this recipe as written. A little tricky getting from one cookie sheet to the preheated one (stuck to my spatula!) but easy enough to pat back into shape. YUM!
